Two shoes and an ankle brace

Posted on January 16th, 2017 by smittyinpa

I’m about 16 weeks post surgery at this point and have been cleared to begin more vigorous PT and strengthening exercises. I have a lace-up ankle brace that I’m wearing with two shoes and I’ve been weaning myself off the brace slowly and spend about 3-4 hours each day without it. I still need it to walk long distances at work but my strength is returning slowly and i should be ditching it in a week or two. Even tough I’m doing moderate stationary cycling and some heel raises and body-weight squats, I would not dare attempt any running or jumping. Slow and steady!

    Does the ankle brace bother your incision sight at all?

    Yes the brace did rub the incision. I took it off when sitting at work. At this point I am 100% out of the brace and even soft socks bother the incision. I’m using coconut oil at night to hopefully soften the scar.
