What can I expect after surgery?

Hey! So I’m (31M) awaiting bilateral fasciotomy in both anterior compartments, they only pressure tested these as the others seemed fine to them and I’ve never had problems with the others. They only needed around 10 seconds of dorsiflexion in both legs to achieve levels in the 70’s on the test. I have had to give up all sports and struggle just walking up the stairs. I can’t seem to find any waterproof shoes that don’t cause me pain, can’t wear hiking boots or hiking shoes and recently bought ON Cloud6 waterproof but these hurt a lot after about 100m of walking or driving. They are fine when just wearing them in the house. Will they feel better post-op? I also have very weak knee stabilisers and my legs shake violently when these muscles are needed. Has anyone else had this and does it get better? For 10 years I’ve been miserable and I’m hoping to be able to have a normal life after surgery!

I just want to walk my dog!

Thanks!
