My husband had an osteotomy, 8 weeks ago.He is recovering but I do think his recovery is slower than usual due to him getting cellilitus after his operation and having to go back into hospital.He had his 6 week x ray and was told to start gradually putting full weight on his leg and to try and get rid of his brace and crutches within two weeks.The first week he started putting weight on it was fine, but a week later he is in alot of pain again. The outer side of his leg is really painful, We are trying to work out why this might be.Is it because his muscles are building back up, or maybe the area that has been numb, the feeling is coming back.
Any advise would be great.Also how does he build up the muscles in his calf and thigh.
