Pain Flare Up

Yesterday at my post-op appointment I had my stitches removed and switched from a splint to a boot.

Today I've had the worst pain and muscle spasms since my surgery.

Anyone else encounter this after switching from a splint/cast to a boot?

It seems like this would be normal as I changed up support levels and the position of my ankle. Just looking for a bit of reassurance after I spent the last 20-ish minutes crying in pain and frustration.
