Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Pain on other side is stress pain as your daughter is putting more strain on that side as compared to operative side. If that pain is only during walking no need to be worried about. But if pain is on rest than you can apply diclofenec ointment, i hope she is already on analgesics. If Physiotherapy get a little late, do not need to be worried, Also accessory navicular is more often than not affect both feet, i hope you had xrayed both feet.
