hey marylou

Congatulations!!!(i dont know if that is the right thing to say at this point) but can you let us know what was different about how this was done this time? has ur swelling gone down significantly?

Hi, yes the swelling has gone down, not completely but a fair bit, the test was done on the same spot etc but physio seems to think that it wasnt flexing due to the calf injury as well, maybe she couldnt get into the muscle correctly.. i am not sure if you do your calf muscle if it actually means the test will fail as well ?? out of the boot today at work, mainly sitting at my desk moving my foot around to help with the swelling. still walking flat footed, no pain, but seems to be getting better daily.. i dont think will be going back to sport-netball anytime soon, too scared it may fully rupture next time !! may stick to walking, and gym
