Dear patient
If your foot tendons are torn it needs at least 3 weeks time to heal till that time foot has to be protected in below knee boot cast. Prognosis is good for ligament injury of foot. I would like to know why your left knee was operated? If two surgeries were done and still you are not feeling good it needs to be investigated with 1. Xray of left knee anteroposterior and lateral views 2. MRI of left knee . Xray gives detail of bony abnormalities and mri gives detail information of soft tissues and ligaments. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Take visit to expert arthroscopic surgeon with report.
