6 Weeks Post Op

I have to say I am very excited about my progress after six weeks. I am way ahead of where I thought I would be. I am swing my weighted Momentus golf club with no problem at all. I have not played yet, but I really believe it is possible. I will wait another week.

 I had my first day today without the boot all day. Just walking around in tennis shoes. I am doing my ROM exercises 3 x a day and using the elastic strap as often as I can. When I go out to do anything physical I will wear the boot to keep me from doing something stupid - like at baseball practice with my son, playing catch etc.

I know I have a long way to go. It is still very tight in the am and takes awhile to warm up, but now pain. I had my visit with my doc a week ago and he really did not have much to say. It looks great - excellent progress - wear the boot for a couple more weeks. Keep doing what I am doing. He did not think a PT  would be able to help me a lot. I thought that was interesting.

chipintn -
Glad that you are 2 shoes now! Looks like you are recovering really well. congrats. ;)
It’s interesting that your doctor said that PT won’t help much. Did he say why? It’s an interesting perspective, and I am very curious.

Chip - Sounds like everything is progressing very well. My surgeon also didn’t feel PT was absolutely necessary, but I had him write me a prescription anyway. I’m glad I did. I’m not actually doing anything at PT that I couldn’t do on my own, but it’s been very helpful to have someone track my progress through recovery and work on my mechanics. It also provides a little extra incentive to make sure you continue to do the at-home exercises. If you have the time, I would recommend meeting with a physical therapist to help with the recovery. You’ve made great progress, keep up the good work.
