Fractured Ankle Physio

[pudding_bowl]

beware of post op infection, its unlikely as the skin is cold but always something to beware of. For the physio to tell you to push through the pain they need to be certain that the area is now well healed - have they seen the xray report that should have been taken after you were taken out of the walking boot.
The bone may not be healed and doing excessive exercises can cause damage.
Let us know what your physio says but don't be afraid to go to the doctor for pain relief and second opinion

Thanks Pudding Bowl,

As far as I am aware my physio hasn't seen any info or x-rays regarding my injury all the info they have I have given them.
I have another appointment tomorrow with physio so will see how I'm going. Still cant believe after nearly 10 weeks post op I have such limited range of ankle movements and still can't put weight on it without awful pain. The physio has said it will be a slow process.

Just dont think I was aware how bad it would be as when I saw the consultant 2 weeks post op he said another 4 weeks then cast off and you walk.. sounded so simple and easy. I knew it wouldn't be THAT easy but I didn't expect this.... I'm going to see doc this week regarding pain killers and work trying to get me back now!! Just feel bit lost with it all!!!

Thanks for your reply
