OK, had ankle reconstruction 3 weeks ago, how long for me to bounce back?

[alex2363]

yes, my good ankle!! My surgery was about 8 years ago and my left ankle has healed great. Hope you're doing well.

More thoughts about your ankle. Heal well!

I have been getting the TENS treatment, so far so good. I think that i will do this by mid or end of March, i dont see myself taking longer. The projected time is 6 to 9 months for humans, but i am Super human, so i will heal in 3 months

Sorry to hear about this......I was in a wreck back in 2006 and almost tore my left foot off, all the bones were crushed all the way around. But after many months of physical therapy and a lot of support and was back up and going within a year, but I also broke my back and tore the rotator cup in my right shoulder, so I had a lot of crap going on at the same time.....LOL....Just stay focus and keep working the movement in that foot when you go to physical therapy as much as you can to regain as much movement as possible. I regained over 80% back, but will not be running any races but at least I can walk on my own without a cain or such! Many folks go to physical therapy and don't push themselves cause of the pain, but I tell you from experience that the sooner you are working on regaining movement the better it will be in the long run and also be able to regain more movement. Good luck and keep your chin up and I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thank you for taking your time to post. Believe it or not i too had a accident that ruptured 3 back vertebrae-L,4,5 and 2 neck-C,2,3. It was 7 years ago. Then 2 years later 2008 [ same year i joined B&B] i had a accident on my shoulder and needed - bicep reattachment, Labrum, and other procedures.

It seems you and i have been through the ringer. i do appreciate that you took the time to inspire and post. God bless.

Ouch! Here's hoping that you don't need any more surgery/rehab for a long, long time . . .

That's great news Alex!

Are you able to walk without crutches now? Have you started exercising it yet?

 

[Teppanyaki]

Congratulations on healing quickly! Keep it up! Think about finding a NOS Toggle in an antique store for under $10 . . .

OK.....today was a good day, i went to foot therapy and headed to the AnyTime Fitness gym...it was 10 at night and empty, which is good for me because i did my chest, abs and cardio without any worries that someone would drop any weights on my foot.\

Here i go on the Elliptical stepper
