This bog is to chronicle my flat foot corrective surgery with the Hyprocure Implant (stent). It's difficult to find real life experiences and information from people who underwent this procedure, so I'm doing my part to inform those considering this operation :) Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to respond.

DAY AFTER SURGERY
I wake up with little to no pain, but my foot feels very tight and a bit numb. I'm in a half-cast and must use crutches which is a uncomfortable as I'm not used to it. I avoid the crutches at first and just hop on my good foot to get around, but that ends up putting too much strain on my knee and ankle so I use the crutches more frequently. I take anti-inflamatory pills (twice daily) and 1/2 a pain killer to take the edge off. So the implant doesn't pop put or migrate, I'm not allowed to put any weight on the foot for a week.
