I have a question…
Folks,
I had my frist post Op. last week and was told things had gone well; the surgeon requested I go to the boot but the cast person put me in a 2nd cast for 2 more weeks, to be safe. I should get the boot on Tue 5th Aug and physio starts the next day.
I just read a copy of the surgeons report from that first check and it states that the Simmons test is negative. I read on the internet that the Simmons test is the pinching of the calf to see if the foot twitches (also called the Thompson test).
I assume the result of negative means no twitching of the foot, which is bad isnt it?
Does anyone know if this is a bad sign for recovery?
