Day 7 + 8

Sorry I couldn't write anything for day 7 because I had really bad menstrual cramps since the morning till night. Anyways, yesterday my stomach cramps hurt way more than my ankle so the pain wasn't that great. Today (day 8) is a lot less painful, I still get that weird blood rushing pressure/tightness feeling. I honestly don't know how to describe the feeling in a precise word, but pressure/tight/pulling are what it feels like.
[UPDATE] So I went to see my doc, and he said everything is fine. He removed my splint+dressing+stitches, and there was minimal drainage. Turns out that the tightness and sore symptoms were all normal. He said I can now wet the incision site when I shower, just no baths or anything like that. That is because you don't want the steri-strips to come off easily. My doctor also gave me some ankle range of motion exercises to do, and he said that I can slowly start weight bearing. He mentioned that it's fine if I am still dependent on my crutches for another week; after all, it's only been one week since the operation.
