Critical Care Surgeon Questions Ankle Injuries and Disorders

How should I take care of myself after surgery?

I had surgery for an injury that I've gotten last week, and now I'm at home recovering. However, I want to recover a lot faster. Is there anything that I can do to speed up recovery?

Follow the instructions from the surgeon. Keep the incision clean to prevent infection, eat a healthy diet, get mild to moderate exercise (if approved by the surgeon), and get enough sleep. You body knows how to heal, but it will take time. Don't rush it.
