Pain after PT

Hi Marymollie,

I had pain (excruciating) in my ankle when I first started to move it & PWB.

It's all of your nerves and tendons that need adjusting and stretching.

I used some coconut oil and just spent most of the time when I was sat resting, massaging the inner and outer ankle area with my thumb (to use most pressure) and I've come on leaps and bounds because of and pain free now

My physio advised to get a hand held ultra sound to use on mt tendons and muscles on my ankle. It has been a tremendous help . Also walking in deep sand slowly has increased the ROM and stregthened the joint.

many Heeling blessings sent your way.

Hello -    you don't say how far along in your rehabitation you are but whatever, I think after any form of physio, stretching, new walking technique etc.,   it's quite normal to feel these aches pains and stabbing feelings.

I have surgery exactly 3 months ago.   I'm now walking without any aid but even now I have a permanent light pain when I walk.   I'm not limping but sometimes, I feel I want to limp to ease the stretching pain.

I have physio every week, I certainly wouldn't be where I am without it.  But it's been a hard slog.   I think the answer is to keep elevating and icing the ankle as many times in the day as is feasible to your lifestyle.    Make it work, then rest and ice it.

Hope it all improves for you very soon - I'm quite sure it will.

I just had my revised ankle replacement surgery wenesday had to have the whole replacement replaced. It's like starting all over again after nine months of pain. Really hope this one works this time
