I saw the orthopedic surgeon earlier this week, and was FINALLY cleared to start physio!
I had my first appointment today - got assessed, stretched, ultrasounded, even zapped with electricity! The therapist said my left side is much weaker than the right (surprise) and my range of motion is pretty limited, but I’m doing better than she expected for 4 months in a boot/cast.
I have exercises to do, and then I’ll be seeing them twice a week for the next few weeks. I hope I can go back to walking normally soon! I’m supposed to start weaning out of the boot.
Great news Herbaceous. My progress with the broken leg is hampered by my lower back which is now taking all the strain when hobbling about on the walking frame. Yesterday my back went into spasm every time I moved. Its a bit better today after resting.
The main thing is to take it slowly and steadily I think. And keep up any exercises they give you to do. Its easy to slip on that...
