Its been almost 10 weeks ATR… conservative and I am walking
Yes its been almost 10 weeks since the injury…. and I am walking…. mainly with crutches…. sometimes without…… I have now had 2 Physio sessions, on the NHS…… everything looks positive…. foot swells a bit… still resting when I can….. I can walk (hobble) up and down stairs (about 3 days ago)… using crutches as support and moving good leg first…… the physio has given me some ultrasound on the tendon… to encourage healing… the stretching excercises are very important…. he said do it to be uncomfortable not painful…… for a conservative all things seem good…. I find it important to ensure that I am wearing the site boots when moving outside the house or office… they have high ankle protection padding so the risk of twisting ankle is minimised……. I hope others are getting good results… its slow but in time is worth it….
