Just a quick update post my physio consult yesterday, I’m now walking with almost a normal gait abeilt slower than more normal quick steps.
Incision Scar looks brilliant, no lumps or bumps post the acupuncture I had to remove the last small bit of the scar tissue adhesion at top of my incision. Everything is moving freely now and looking pretty normal
By the end of my working day my ankle still has a little swelling but certainly not enough to be a bother. No pain or discomfort at all. I’m back in my regular work attire & shoes ( small wedges) so am really happy about that.
My new exercises using the resistance of the theraband are
planterflection & holding for 5 secs x10, inversion & eversion X 10 each way
double leg heel raises X 10 distributing weight evenly to both sides
walking on toes & heel raises in swimming pool daily
Using the medicine ball to roll from toe to heel, heel to toes, circles to left , circles to right Alternating all for 20 minutes when sitting.
To minimise redness on skin, use a soft nail brush or exfoliating glove and work up from toes to mid shin & keep repeating for about 30 secs before getting in the shower
All in all progress with rehab going really well at this stage

You just need to take prescribed medicines and extra workout. Scar tissues can be removed if we do a proper workout. Make a timetable of intake and exercise this will work even better If you work according to the schedule. Work out on your flaws until it gets fixed and gives you an ultimate satisfaction.
That’s quite interesting and special . Thankyou for sharing this. This will be really amazing and helpful for me.
I’m going to remember the bean bag vs pillows for elevation. I just went through healing a sprained foot and my foot kept sliding off the pillows. I can see how a bean bag footstool would have worked perfectly. I appreciate learning from your journey.
