2nd Dr. Appt. 3w 1d post surgery - FWB - good progress
Posted on July 15th, 2009 by mikelosangeles
Doc was in the room for 10 minutes maybe. Per the Doc:
1) there is no way I should even consider platlet rich injection therapy b/c it is expensive, there is no research on post op patients to support the therapy’s viability and most importantly he said the down side of introducing a foreign body (the needle) into the surgery site is that you could retard healing (i.e. infection). Sounds reasonable to me. I am dropping it.
2) No PT or swimming until after the next appt. (in 10 days).
3) he removed the first of the three wedges and walking FWB w/o crutches is easier.
He was pleased with the progress. He said the foot was close to 90 degrees which I gather is a good thing?
