Had my third appt with OS yesterday, not the same person I saw last time or the time before that in fact I’ve had three different people over the 3 appointments. Anyway I would hope that they are all as competent as each other so what’s the difference. He was pleased with my progress and has said I can return to work in two weeks so it wont be long now before I’m back on the road driving for Eddie Stobart. I asked him about the tightness in the tendon and he explained that it was due to lesions adhering to my skin at the sit of the surgery. To overcome this he told me I have to massage the back of the tendon using a general massage oil or vaseline. I have to do this every hour for approx five minutes. I began yesterday afternoon and I have already started to feel a difference. My ankle and foot get quite hot shortly afterwards so obviously something is occuring and it seems to be beneficial. I also have to continue with the stretching excercises the Physio has given me. He also said that in 2 weeks I can commence light jogging. I think I’ll wait and see on that one as I am still limping when I walk at the moment. He has set another appt for 4 weeks time, which will be 14 weeks post op. Hopefully by then I might even be jogging!!
Good healing to you all.
