24 Weeks - Jogging again
September 29, 2011 by mark5tewart
I’ve managed a few short jogs - 4 or 5km -in the past week or so and backed up pretty well….if anything the AT was the least sore part of my body which has been hibernating for almost 6 months! I can manage about 6 one-legged calf raises but there’s still a way to go to get the strength back. Flexibility-wise, my knee-to-wall stretch is at 6.5cm but my physio believes I can get to 10cm if I continue to work on it.
The only negative point is that the numbness in my foot is still persisting. If the feeling is coming back, its doing so very slowly..
Happy healing folks.
Hi. If you have persistent numbness of your foot as you describe, it is possible that you have neurological complications of a popliteal block, which can injure the nerve. The anesthesiologist use certain instruments to try not to inject the anesthetic agents into the nerve itself, but they are not failsafe. I am now 18 months out from my surgery, and I noted numbness in the bottom and outer parts of my foot, with cramping as well. This partially improved but 80% persists unchanged to this day. Just thought I would tell you.
Thanks for sharing your experience Arnie. The numbness is definitely on the way out and a few folks have recommended vitamin B1 to complete the recovery. Given that I’m pretty much back to where I was pre-ATR, I’ll settle for a little numbness.
Happy healing
