12 weeks non weight bearing
Posted , 8 users are following.
I had bone fusion surgery and have been non weight bearing for 12 weeks. I was put in walking boot 1 week ago and told could start trying to walk this past Friday using pain as my guide of how much I do. I do have pain but my problem is my good leg. I can't seem to make it move. I'm using a walker to help but any other suggestions

Freedom walker with large wheels and a seat, plus knee scooter for stressful times. I loathe crutches.
I'm not fully weight baring yet.
Maybe you need to see your Dr to arrange Physio on your so called good leg.
Good luck! @(*+*)@

I started when sitting moving my feet as if to walk. Then using my Zimmer frame placed this one step in front of me till I actually managed one step. Progressed to a few steps around bed, knowing if fell would have soft landing. There was no expert to actually to tell me how to get over mental block, only was told it was entirely up to me. Once the first step was taken it was amazing how quickly soon was walking.
Dont worry if it doesn't happen the first few times just keep trying and before long it all comes back.

I know it will be ok eventually but it seems a long long time.

8 months and still not fully walking, I have made huge process. Surgery 4 months ago was demoralizing after 4 months of not healing.
Its important for us to seek professional help when things don't seem right.
I am looking forward to walking. Biggest thing holding Mr back is a Bakers Cyst on my other leg behind my knee. I can't bend or straighten leg. Once specialist sorts that next week, I should have good news.

So glad to hear it's all working well for you and it will continue to improve over the next few months.
I didn't hear mine snap but knew from the feel of it, it felt disconnected an odd sensation there was no pain just an odd feeling.
