I've been doing exercises I learned at PT
Im so tired of taking ADVIL everyday
I can only imagine what it might be doing to my stomach
I keep thinking my hip is going to give out on me!!!

I'm am having a similar problem. they told me at physical therapy cuz I wasn't walking right that it would cause me and hip pain everything they everything they said at least everything that I can do and I'm still having some knee pain. so far I feel a little uncomfortable in the hip but it hasn't gotten that bad yet. the last time last week when I went to PT I thought I was doing pretty good when I walked in even though I do have a limp and they were looking at me like I was just and they were looking at me like I was just way behind and they were looking at me like I was just way behind. I have been doing the exercises the pain is much less and I feel like you know it's just going to take time you know it's just going to take time before I'm walking normal again. my physical therapist has given me a copy of exercises to do and then you can also go on to the website but they have it programmed what you need to do. it seemed at first that I was keeping my leg too straight and not bending my knee enough, and then last week it said I was doing too much bending on the knee it seemed at first that I was keeping my leg too straight and not bending my knee enough, and then last week it said I was doing too much bending on the knee so I just feel like it's a matter of time but I really don't have an answer for you I can send you a copy of the exercises of the exercises they gave me if that would help you. I'm not in that much pain to where I feel like my hip is going to give

I'm sorry that this keeps repeating I'm speaking it and it does that. But what I said was they told me I would have knee and hip problems if I didn't do the exercises and if I wasn't walking right . I just feel that it takes time to get to where you're walking normal again

yes, experiencing the same. it's because I'm not walking straight yet. PT says it's because my ankle has not loosened up all the way. Swimming and riding the bike have really helped it though. I try and swim every other day.I'm doing the excersises too, but it just seems progress is really slow. it's going to take time I guess. Hang in there. It's been 4.5 months for me, and yes my left ankle consumes my thoughts every day.

thank you, that makes perfect sense to me because I realized and I am not walking straight yet either. not that I want anybody else suffering but I'm glad to not that I want anybody else suffering but I'm glad to hear that it's not just me. I feel like when I go to physical therapy they act like I'm not doing what I'm supposed to but I really am. I'm much better. I'm much better and happy to be. I'm much better and happy to be walking at all. I'm much better and happy to be walking at all and I'm not having anywhere near the pain that I used to have but I do realize that I'm not quite right yet. thank you for your answer . unfortunately I don't have a swimming pool to use but just to know that what I'm experiencing Is Not Unusual and makes me feel better. thank you so much

My hip was hurting when I had the boot on...now that I don't have to lift that thing and I'm walking with same shoe on each foot I seem to be okay.

Now after 3 months my latest thing is if I exert myself I get hot flashes ,feel nauseous and I get depressed. I am dealing with the fasciitis and my ankle feeling like a rubber band around it. It wears me out and quite frankly mentally I am so done with this at this point. Although my progress is on target, for me this has gone on way too long I cannot believe an ankle can cause such havoc. People recover from heart surgery faster!!!! Last therapy session I had to cut short and have them put an ice pack on my neck..I felt like a freakin drama queen...certainly not my style. Even after I took a shower and blew my hair dry today I went thru that. It might be anxiety attacks from being frustrated.

Ive said it to many people, this ankle injury is a life changer.
I went through bouts of depression and I am not that type of person
That is why for me when another ache or pain presents itself I start thinking about having more surgery on a different part of my body!
The mental challenge of this injury is not discussed That is why its good to have this group
For the most part Im doing most of what I did before just slower and some days it hurts more
But unless this injury has impacted you, people dont have a clue
Each day presents itself differently and I go with it
Stress can be a factor and can bring on other sickness for sure

Contrary to where I use to live things are not as close together here so when i'm out doing my thing I'm out all day, but now I can't accomplish even half of what I used to do.I try to do what i can around the house cooking , laundry ( TG I hired a house cleaner) but I'm exhausted when finished . IN the course of the day I do quite a bit of walking and with all the above I'm either too tired or lazy to do the exercises except for moving my foot around at night while I'm i n bed.Right now I woke at 8 and it's taken all of me to not fall asleep...I was taken a pain killer at night tomadol or something like that but I decided to try an ambien alt to see if i can walk up more wide awake and that didn't help. My oncologist gave me that because a side affect is drowsiness. So as I'm writing this I now realize lack of good sleep is hindering me mentally too. That with the constant pain is like being held hostage with someone keeping you awake and causing you pain 24 hours a day.

So true! I never would have believed that it could steal so much of your life. I am walking but much slower and just started driving which helps a lot with the depression.. haven't been able to go back to work yet to my part time job because it's a lot of standing. Not sure when that is going to happen. hang in there.

Hi, I'm replying to all of you here. I live 40 mins from town by car, so understand what you are up against. I have to plan the day accordingly. I too am driving, which helps. Yesterday I felt good so I drive to the gym, 40 mins, as usual, rode the bike for 30 mins, drove to another town to shop, another 45 mins, walked around 2 shops for probably 20 mins...I could feel my ankle getting hot and swelling up, by the time I fell into the car it was really swollen and had pain on the Inside ankle. Drove back to the gym, swam and sat in the hot tub ...Im thinking it's bound to make it feel better , like it usually does. wrong! I simply did too much. That is my punishment for thinking I could do all that. So, I have to rest it today. Do a few excersises and that's it. I don't know when I can return to work either as my job involves patient care. It's very frustrating because there doesn't seem to be a time line for me to be completely healed. My foot is still off by a few degrees up and down flex, so my ankle isn't aligned yet with my knee and ankle, so it causes me to walk wonky. The PT says 7 weeks was a long time for me to be in a cast, that is why it's taking so long to rehab. I wish you all the patience in this ankle healing thing. I don't need job...i already have one. Excersise until we drop. Try do do our house jobs in between. Sit. Rest. Repeat. All day long. Best wishes for recovery to you all from me. xxx
