At Dr. Jill's Foot Pads, we know that when treating a podiatric disorder or deformity, Podiatrists will try every non-invasive means possible before recommending surgery. Sometimes, however, surgery is the best option. If your foot doctor has recommended a surgical procedure, here are some tips for planning and recovery.
Before Surgery
- Follow all pre-op instructions from your surgeon
- Arrange for transportation and help at home for the first few days
- Stock up on supplies you'll need during recovery
- Prepare meals in advance and freeze them
- Set up a comfortable recovery area on the main floor of your home
After Surgery
Follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. Keep the foot elevated to reduce swelling. Use ice as directed. Take medications as prescribed. Attend all follow-up appointments. Our Cast or Bandage Protector can help you shower safely while keeping your surgical site dry.
