Hello Harriet, Thank you for sharing. Your video has been quite helpful and informative. I had a similar injury and I am currently 3 weeks post surgery, non-weight bearing and my brace is set at 90 degrees. My question is with the 90 degree angle on your brace, how often and how long are you keeping it at the angle? I can only manage a couple of minutes at a time every couple of hours otherwise it’s straight/elavated most of the time? What’s been your experience?

Thank you for sharing your experience… I was thinking of sharing my story as a much older patient of 68 so I really hope you won’t mind me sharing some of my experience here… I got my tibial plateau fracture in a cycling accident… fortunately for me it was decided that I wouldn’t have a operation but they have told me that there is a real possibility of arthritis in the future and I may need a knee replacement… it’s amazing how differently the treatments can be maybe because I have no pins holding the fracture in place though … I was absolutely told no weight baring for 6 weeks and was given no physio… though I was told that I didn’t need to wear the brace when I was resting right from week 2 by then all of my swelling had gone down. By week 3 I did start some exercises after looking for advice from KZread physiotherapists but none of that was weight bearing. My week 6 xray showed good attachment of the bone and now Week 7 to 9 I have been advised for partial weight bearing still using crutches. Still no physio but just told to gradually keep increasing this. I am in week eight now and still have some strange sensations like my foot doesn’t quite belong to me although I have complete control over the movement of it. Of course these fractures are not just bone but cartilage tendons nerves muscles and fascia! So some of this stuff takes longer than a break to get better. I started using comfrey (knit bone) from the get go and like you magnesium to support recovery. Something else I found super helpful was meditation and I invested in a subscription to insight timer for £5.99!a month … there are so many healing meditations you can access .. I am particularly finding davidji super helpful… it’s all about staying positive about your recovery.. mind over matter… I wish everyone going through this the very best in their recovery back to full mobility 🙏🙏🙏

Wow! You are not having any PT or many restrictions...probably why you are walking already...meanwhile, I had 3 months no weight bearing and lost the bend in my knee. I am in Outpatient Therapy learning to walk with a walker and trying to bend my knee again. I chose wheelchair initially due to no weight bearing, crutches seem very scary. Dish Tub to carry food or plates out of kitchen... Ramps off Amazon to get out the door... Adjustable Bed helped alot! Portable Commode... Shampoo caps when I couldn't wash my hair. Sounds like you will be recovered soon!

Thank you for sharing your story! I suffered a type 6 back in December 26th and am doing significantly better now. Just can’t sprint really. I did unfortunately develop a DVT which put me on an oral blood thinner which I finished the beginning of April. I broke mine playing sports and stepping awkwardly, what a boring way to break your leg. I’m glad you are recovering well, being young certainly helps. I am 25 years old

Thank you so much for this diary. I’m 7 weeks post accident- 11 nights in Italian and UK hospitals, 3 different plasters ( which got bigger and heavier every new one I had!) was put in a brace like yours 2 weeks ago and next week I am finally having my op to pin the bone - a crazy amount of delay compared to yours and I’m using my private health insurance 😮. I’m desperate to finally get on the road to recovery and have already booked next years ski trip in anticipation 🤞🤞

Hi Harriet, thank you for sharing your story. I’m 6.5 weeks post op. I had so little direction … I’d still be in a knee brace & non weight bearing if it wasn’t for research I’ve done myself & information from people like yourself. People should listen to their body/ leg/ knee - sometimes the advice is just far to conservative & actually detrimental to recovery.

@HarrietMurray2 ай бұрын

Agreed! I saw so many stories online of people taking months and months to get back walking but I don't have the patience for that - so pleased I pushed myself!

I cant imagine having an injury like that that just makes you lose all your independence 💔 i hope your students were very understanding 🤣 I'm going skiing later in the year and am sooo accident prone and hear so many horror stories about people on skiing holidays, its scaring me 🤣😢

Our stories are very similar recovery wise, mine was my ankle though last June when i was 49 (first bone i had broken!) . Sleep wise i got an elevation pillow from amazon, it was a game changer. I had to use a zimmer frame with a bag on the front so i could take stuff from one room to another as i couldn’t use crutches 😂. I developed cellulitis from my wound so spent another week in hospital. I was very lucky and got hydrotherapy on the NHS and it made all the difference with flexibility and mobility. You are doing so well!

Digicam isn't giving? Are you kidding? Digital cameras are way better than these expensive big DSLRs or those little-ish canon g7x's cameras, digital cameras are making a comeback for the nostalgic early 2000s, late 90s look so in fact you recorded with a digital camera cause your csmera you normally vlog with actually made the video look retro as if it was filmed in the mid 2000s 👍👍👍
