Wow thats interesting that it happened on the same day! When you first began to walk on it did you actually walk or were you like hopping with it. I take a step with my affected foot and kind of hop with the other.
at first I was in the air boot and I took very tiny steps more with the toe. then I got a little better at the walking. when I got tired I would hop on my Good Foot. and I’m now out of the air Boot and there is a small brace that’s not and I’m now out of the air Boot and there is a small brace that’s not really a brace but it’s a support for my ankle then I wear with my sneakers in it seems to be easier to walk with that then the boot. sorry for the misspelling but I speak this and it doesn’t always come out right
what ankle is broken because if it’s you’re left why can’t you drive and get out a little? I started driving when I was confident with my walker. Slip the walker in your car from the driver’s side wheels first to the passenger side. I’m 3 months , walking now with a limp but I am wasted at night. It tires me out and I have a nagging annoying pain. I started PT right after surgery and now I’m in outpatient PT.. I feel like I’m getting worse with the pain. It’s like a vicious circle. I feel like i need more of a spa treatment for my foot instead of pushing it but I guess no pain , no gain. Very frustrating.
psssss if u can get out and drive you will feel a little better.
Hey there, well iv had a bit of progress since my last post and im out of the walker boot which was instructed by my PT, im having some really good days and then some days i feel as though iv lost weeks of progress so its still really frustrating. my PR told me to go back to the gym which has been excellent but i feel as though i may of some how pulled a muscle/ligament as i get a sharp pain on the inner part of my foot now. At the weekend i couldnt walk because of it but then today has been fine. But its been up and down like that for a few weeks now, i guess the main thing is that i shouldnt force or push the situation as its a long healing process. I dont drive but was doing my lessons when it happened and its my right ankle so all the lessons i feel was a bit of a waste as i feel i will of probably forgotten so much as iv not had one for 3 months now, but hey ho thats life i guess. Dont let your PT push you too much and listen to your own body, i think spa treatment sounds like a wonderful idea to get the muscles loosened up!
well happy for your progress!
Its certainly and up and down recovery
im almost 13 weeks post op and I feel almost back to my normal self!
Keep positive and keep moving
