I have gone swimming once (lovely to be in water!) and was able to wander around John Lewis for about half an hour with the help of one crutch. I still have pain and have to stop and put my foot up on a regular basis. I take ibuprofen and have bought curcumin (which is one of the composite parts of turmeric ) which is supposed to help with inflammation.
