I am 9 weeks post cheilektomy. There was no swelling, no pain for the first 4 weeks. After ditching the post-op-shoe which happens in germany 4 weeks post op and starting PT swelling began AND pain. I received lymphdrainage but swelling in the ankle is still going strong. Both PT and my doctor told me not to start with sports, especially running, till 12 weeks post op.
