At almost 6 1/2 months still doing therapy
January 11, 2014 | |
Hello all I was so focused on recovery I forgot about my blog my apologies to all recovering. I’m at six months I do therapy twice a week still due to my calf muscle and my injury area still tingles like tinkerbell hit me with her wand! I’m an active person so I do weight for my upper body and abs, Because one of my fears was not being able to ride my bike and do leg press and other strength exercises for the area due to being scared and therapist not giving me the green light. I had a job where I walked a lot now I dont walk as far and still get pain if I turn it quickly or do jumping jacks. I want to know has anybody else have to change jobs or thought about quitting previous gym styles due to the injury, I wish everybody much success and back to pre injury strength. I have positive thoughts but when I think that it’s been 6 months plus I get down because I’m still feeling like I have ways to go to be back to 100%. I go dancing but after a long night my feet feel sore does anybody feet feel the same? Let me know. Thanks

I returned to pre-ATR activities and intensity (HIGH!) after both ATRs (1 op, 1 non-op 8 yrs later). But I was still recovering at your stage — though no Tinkerbell for me! — and didn’t get close to 100% til 10-11 months. “The frustrating plateau”… But at least you’re in good shape for MOST ADLs.
No guarantees you’re heading for 100% of course — no guarantees on ANY of our body parts — but many of us who ultimately did well weren’t delighted or satisfied at your time post-ATR.
