I had three surgeries in the past year, all three had me on Percocet for the first week or so, then I went to Tylenol for the next week, then nothing after that.
I had a Resection of Haglunds Deformity performed and was on Percocet for a couple days, then nothing. I was back on my feet months before the doctor expected me to be. Unfortunately it still bothers me, not faulting the surgeon at all as he's highly recommended. I just kept delaying the surgery for nearly three years past when he recommended having it done and I think I pushed myself back on my feet too soon due to lack of pain.
