    Just wondering how long it takes after stitches come out do I start p.t. I am not to fond of my podiatrist assistant. She has extremely bad temper and I don't wanna go back to him. I am going to take my own stitches out this week because she has told me last week that she would be removing them on my next visit and to take pain meds cause it will hurt. Problem is...Dr stopped pain meds after 10 days so I figure if I do it myself , I can save myself some pain. Gave me a grey boot but it hurts me to bad to wear it. Makes my foot swell, so I removed it and am just exercising my foot. Can't stand on it or it swells. Had surgery 17 days ago

    As soon as stitches out and no risk of developing infection via the 'wound', then aqua is ok.
    BUT, you really should go back to the podiatrist for follow up.

    I took stitches out 2 days ago. Doused wound in betadine iodine. Looks good. I will return on Nov 1 to dr for final visit. Thanks Craig
