Hi all,
I know my recovery has been longer than some, my age is aginst me, but this morning I went to physio and for the first time I went into the gym, did a few exercises then she wanted me to hold onto the wall bars and rise up on my toes, which I did 10 times. Then she asked me to put my good foot to the side for balance only, not to put weight on it and try and rise up with my bad leg….. nothing….. absolutely nothing…. I was quite dismayed, thought I might have been able to lift the heel a little bit.
Am I a long way behind others? It is 14 weeks since my operation now. Did a few more exercises but could feel nothing in the bad leg from the knee down, did feel strain behind knee but that was all. I see my Consultant next Wednesday and my physio said if I wasn’t seeing him anyway she would have asked for an early appointment. Should I be worried. Still have bad circulation and a lot of swelling around the ankle area.
