I also have arthritis and I am afraid of the pain and rehab time that will be required. I have a job where I walk quite a bit. Also this arthritis is so very painful and I am just now getting to see a doc about it. I need to talk to someone who has undergone this surgery. What do I need to expect? My ortho doc told me I would be in a soft cast, non weight bearing, until the sweling goes down, and then I would go into a cast for several weeks. Please help me! Thanks
