Hi Markko
Good to hear a positive recovery story. Keep up the good work.
I’m still not clear about what bone you broke in your ankle. Did you require surgery for an unstable ankle? Or a plate and screws inserted? Apologies if I missed that.
I clean broke my fibula (see photo!) playing Aussie rules foortball 1st July, and damaged a ligament in my ankle to go with it. Had surgery 2 days later and now have a plate and 5 screws inserted, also required tight rope reconstructive surgery to repair diastasis.
Instructed NWB for 6 weeks, approaching 5 weeks post surgery and swelling is mostly gone and ROM is returning. Visiting a private physio for NWB strengthening exercises was best decision I made…would have totally wasted away over 5 weeks without some exercises.
How old are you? What was it like when you first started weight bearing again? How is your swelling now? Do you swell up much after intense exercise?
Thanks, Wolf
