No Greg, in fact he gave me no restrictions, no further treatment, just told me to not bandage it too tight when I change the bandage......I have that for more support. My daughter gave me a new pair of good sneakers that she bought for herself and they have good arch support, etc. I am able to get them on over the bandage and they feel so much better than the boot. Even more support. The boot is for a much taller person and I am so miserable and restricted when i wear it. I am going to keep the shoes on and not overdo it for a few days until I see how the pain is, then I will see if I am ready to walk without the walker. Keep hoping.
