We need to wait until we get our doctor's okay, but I found an article online yesterday, that seemed helpful. If you are interested, look up these words " royal berkshire ankle fracture " for an article entitled " Physiotherapy following your ankle fracture - Royal Berkshire Hospital " .

I had a young year two student who has done more for me than those who qualified. Unfortunately she now left to return to university.
I am returning to work on Tuesday, dreading the standing. Just have to wait and see how things go.

The last 7 months have been challenging to say the least and I know we are all in the same situation. I take on board about trying new ideas, and that I will try Epson salts. I am now looking into paying privately for a new physio as I have lost all confidence with my NHS physio. I have arranged to go swimming this Friday, the first time in 43 years, so that will be an experience...lol I have 3 weeks holiday left to take before August at work so will take my annual leave before schools break up and hopefully it won't be very busy.

I just got a fresh comfrey leaf and root delivered by mail and I ground it all up in a food processor, plastered it on my ankle and foot where it hurt and where I could feel and see swelling, and also all over my healed incision near where the bones were broken. I look quite silly now with an ace bandage and seran wrap encircling my ankle. It may not help, but I'll try anything that people say helped them at this point....hItting this thing on all fronts. We can't give up!

I was displaying one of my Eastern bloc cars at a classic car event a couple of Sunday's ago and got chatting to a chap who had a knee replacement and he goes swimming 2-3 times a week and says that he has no pain or stiffness as a result. I used to love swimming as a child but always was too busy as I started work, then family commitments etc. If it is a success then I will go 2-3 times a week, and yes Patti, I definitely am in need of a holiday, the last 12 months have been difficult to say the least, I just hope that this is the start of improvement and can look forward to the summer. Where did you buy the fresh comfrey leaf ? I may try it as I have read good results and as you say, it's worth trying. We certainly can't give up even though at times it is difficult.
