Hey Everyone !

So, my cast was removed yesterday after a stress fracture in the Medial Malleolus ( Inner Ankle Bone). The Removal thing seems exciting but it hasnt been much normal.

I dont know why but the achillies tendon of my left (injured) foot is so stiff ! Like really.

When I do the Plantar Flexion ( Stretching foot down excercise) It hurts so much. Even the Heels give a sweet pain after being pressed. less of the sweet more of the pain.

The injured Leg has become really 'small' , muscles have atrophied. And I cant rotate my ankle still. And Cant walk. Can put Weight. More like dont want to put weight ..even when standing.

So the Doc has told me to use crutches for 10 days and Meet him in 10. He'll tell me to putt off crutches and Then Physiotherapy.

I just want to know about your Experience after Cast removal ..the pain if any.. and returing to walking..running..sports? I was in a cast for like 9 weeks.

    Long time everyone.

    There is good news and bad news.

    My fracture completely healed..Resumed intense basketball

    No pain.

    Then some weeks ago i sprained my other ankle.But it wasnt sonething big.

    After a week of that my right knee started having pain in medial side.

    Long story short : MRI states Grade 2 signal changes in posterior horn of medial meniscus.

    Went to 6 Docs. 1 recommemded Arthroscopy ( minimally invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic treatment)

    Rest said Rehab for 6 weeks and you will be fine.

    The problem is that my other knee now has been showing same pain without any injury.

    And my xrays show narrow joint space in medial compartment of knee.

    I am just worried it is not Osteoarthritis. I am just 17.

    And i hope my other knee doesnt have a tear ..i didnt even walk much man.

    I know this is not a knee forum..but i really wanted to let you guys know all this..

    How is everyone
