did not have something as bad as that but i did dislocate my ankle. after crutches is taken off, you need at least 3 months before it goes back to full recovery. if in your case, it might be longer?

it is possible. if you don't mind me asking, how did you break your leg? prob your bones can't take the whole body weight just yet. for one, you might need to adjust the way you walk. honestly i am not too sure. I did the mistake of jogging one month after taking the cast out. bad idea. my left knee is injured and it's not the same anymore. my right ankle eventually healed and strengthened with time so I actually brought the pain to myself from impatience.

keep elevating your leg. ice it? my doc called me to put my foot in cold water and leave it there. the swelling should go down. in your case for a whole leg, i'm not sure what the doc would say.

that is a very bad fall from a stair case. i got mine from futsal. it was the longest 45 min of my life waiting for ambulance to come get me. Flat shoes should be fine? do you walk a lot at your work place?

that long wait was because i want to go private hosp and frens called govt hosp, so the confusion there and thus the longer wait of suffering. that is a lot of walking for you. I guess everytime you are done walking, you need to relax the stress on it. as in, prop it up, ice it or something like that. at office would be more difficult and inconvenient but you need to keep doing that till you feel better. I guess the lesson from this is don't take life for granted and take things slow? I def don't take my body's condition for granted ever since. when i make my foot go in circles, you def will hear cracks and the usual pop. I am back to futsal thankfully but after one hour, i can feel my leg feeling bengkak in my shoes and then gradually lose strength and mobility. However, got to be thankful walking, running and kicking still possible.

don't give up. just keep watching yourself. stay positive. give me a PM if you need someone with similar experiences to talk to. in the mean time, find something that wont use your legs to exercise or work out. it's better to heal slow than to not heal at all. good luck!

hi. hope the surgery was a success. for the next one month u will need crutches for sure. Once the cast is out, then you can slowly put weight but you won't find a lot of movement till at least 6 months. i am putting it longer so you wont pressure yourself and risk a bad healing period.

that might not be comfortable in the long run. try the ones where u put your whole arm through the support for the crutch instead of under armpits. those are tiring. if u are using the old man ones, guess u should spend more time sitting and resting.
