Broken foot & ten weeks!

Was curious if anyone was in a similar boat? Or has any advice.. I recently broke my foot, requiring surgery but because I'm pregnant I can't until after baby is born! As of now Im a 8-12 week non weight bearing plan and then by June they will reassess with an X ray to see if the bone is beginning to heal. I'm completely bummed and it's so hard with a three year old at home to not be able to walk or do much on my own. I'm also super super worried about blood clots since I'm immobile most of the day...

Thanks to anyone willing to listen!
Xx

    I have no experience with this, but just wanted to wish you luck! It sounds like a really rough situation.

    I also haven't gone through this but may have some advice.  I had really bad carpal tunnel and joint pain all around during and post pregnancy.  I ended up buying a cold wrap as well as a Blood Flow stimulator wrap to help with circulation.  I know they have them for all parts of the body and safe to use during pregnancy.  Worth a look into if it helps. Keeping good circulation will also help manage the pain.  With broken bones I know it is a matter of waiting on them to heal but if you can't move around much it may help.  I know myself, it really improved the carpal tunnel and I know its apples to oranges but you never know, it may help.
