Thank you for telling me this, I am in the final stages of healing from a tibia fracture

I just got my cast removed. Having worn a cast for so long with a stirrup has caused my hip and back to be out of alignment, so now I need to restore good back posture as well as work on flexibility of my foot and leg. My foot has been flexed and the ligaments have been contracted for so long that it is painful trying to stretch out my foot and knee. This will take time to work it out gradually.

After I made a plan, I found it easier to work towards ditching the boot entirely. I am also trying to get my hips and back realigned. Thanks for the encouraging video

I tore my achilles 2 days ago not so much to need surgery but the boot is too heavy and the pain too much. How did you deal with the pain?

I broke both calcaneus 9 months ago. One required surgery. I was in a wheelchair for 8 weeks and my ankle which required surgery was in a boot/ cast cast 3.5 months. The muscle atrophy was unreal. six months out the boot, my leg is slowly gaining strength in both the calf and quad which still have significantly less volume than the leg which was in a boot for only six weeks. My rehab on leg continues - if slower than I had thought.

Thank you! 😊

I fractured my fibula 6 weeks go - im in a boot and am about to begin weight bearing walking with the boot on for the the next 6 weeks (recommended by my doc) I play ulti directional sports and am very nervous about the tendon recovery from being immobilized. I like how you mentioned to have a plan/strategy for increased movement daily/weekly/monthly until back in the sports I love. Do you have any charts you've created with reasonable ranges for movements?

Thank you - am trying not to rely on the boot . Recovering from snapping my ankle . My bones recovered since surgery but now I am focusing on walking

I had walking boot n no weight for 6 months. Plate....4 pins...n 14 screws to put my foot back on bone. Now i can walkvwithout hoot but nervous still. What do u think???

I sprained my ankle and broke my foot fourteen weeks ago. The bone is healed, but the MRI still showed a sprain. I am transitioning out of the boot. However, enter the complication. He believes I may have acquired CRPS. I have been referred to physical therapy and a pain specialist. I wasn’t able to get into physical therapy for a full month and the pain specialist can’t get me in for two months. I’ve been told that I have to get moving because of the CRPS or I won’t be able to move. The fear and pain are intense. How do I transition in this interim before pt and the pain specialist. What can I do to improve?

Im healing from a climbing injury that affected my ankle (specifically the motion of standing on your toes and stretching my foot downward). Ive been in the walking cast for 2 months. What exercises would you recommend once im out of the cast?

I just had my cast removed, and the Doc did not give any instructions on "how" to gradually start walking again. The ligaments and muscles in my foot, knee and ankle are very stiff and hurts from having it casted in one position for a while as well as from carrying the weight of the cast. So I am going to start by slowly stretching my foot, knee and ankle to restore flexibility and release the stiffness. Having flexibility is the key to balance and stability of the foot. Then afterwards, I think I will gradually do weight bearing on the foot using my crutches or a cane as support.

Nah get Altras and then Lems and then Freet because On Cloud has a narrow toe Box Okay so Altra has the Olympus that are thicker than the Escalante. Also, even the Escalantes are thick. Just not AS thick as the Olympus.
