I experienced a lot of pain for 3 days after surgery with use of Narco, ice, and 24/7 elevation of foot. At my post-op appointment my dr realized the nurses wrapped my foot too tight and gave me a CAM boot that was too small. Due to natural swelling from surgery, this improper bandage wrap and boot size caused a large blood blister to form and extensive bruising up my ankle and calf. Doctor was shocked at how tight my foot was wrapped. Nurses at discharge did not give clear instructions. I was not told if/when I could remove the CAM boot. Therefore I left it on, which increased the swelling, bruising, and pain. Overall, the nurses improper bandage and giving me the wrong boot to wear home delayed my recovery and left me to do extra wound care due to the blood blister that formed.
