Week 8 Flat Foot Recovery | Bearing Weight for the First Time

Welcome back to Brian's Flat Foot Recovery! This is my Week 8 update after flat foot reconstruction surgery, and I've reached another huge milestone—putting weight on my foot for the first time in eight weeks. Following my doctor's instructions, I begin standing with the help of crutches while wearing my walking boot. It sounds simple, but after two months of keeping my foot completely off the ground, everything feels strange. My ankle is stiff, my knee feels rusty from weeks of inactivity, and even standing takes some getting used to. Thanks for coming along for the ride! ▶️ Watch the full Flat Foot Recovery playlist to follow my entire story from the beginning:    • Flat Foot Recovery Video Playlist   ❤️ Support My Flat Foot Recovery Journey Your support helps offset medical expenses and allows me to continue documenting every stage of this recovery so others can benefit from a real-world experience.
