I too broke my heel( down the middle) in January and had surgery in Feb( 2 screws) . I am an RN and I have beeen manually moving the joints as much as possible. Pulling toes up and down is painful at first, but believe me , it will help in the end. I have also been gently rotating the foot in a circle. The move you move the joints the more lubricated they are and the better you will be in the long run. I have started PT yesterday and taking my first steps. If you have not been massaging the incision, I cannot recommend this enough because it will break up the scar tissue which is hypersensitive right now. Best of luck to you and thanks for your service to me, my family and our country!
