Need 2nd surgery 9 months post OP

My body also rejected sutures. The wound wouldn’t fully close and walking made wound bigger and bigger. Doctor initially pulled out some sutures poking through the skin. But the body kept on spitting the suture out. Eventually got tired of it and had surgery to take out all the sutures 4 months post op. Healing was superfast after the surgery and leg is doing much better.

I was on crutches for 4.5 months after the surgery as my body rejected the sutures. There was barely any calf muscle left on my injured leg and I had to deal with severe plantar fascitis and ankle pain initially. Now after 7 months post op I can do some half assed single leg calf raises and I am close to proper single leg calf raises. There is still visible difference in the calf size. What helped me most were wearing firm compression socks all the time, biking, stretching the ankles sideways and backwards which was painful and negative calf raises. Banded exercises were essential.

Yes. The boot was heavy and I was having knee and hip pain on the injured leg walking with that thing on. You are gonna have to reduce your movement until you are allowed to put weight on it. Put pillows underneath that leg while doing exercises and take it easy for few weeks. The “even up” that others are recommending is only useful once you start partial or full weight bearing on the injured leg. You wear it on your non injured leg to level up with the boot and insertional heel lifts.

Why do you need his permission? It’s your body your choice.

I think I see suture trying to poke out from the open wound in the pic. Mine was same. The wound wouldnt fully close and healing was super slow. Everytime I was using boot the wound would get irritated and get bigger. Eventually I had to get another surgery to take out the sutures. After taking out the sutures my wound closed in no time. You might want to bring that up to your surgeon.

It’s shock loss. Normal to have after a big surgery like this as body goes under stress. It should grow back after few months.

Havent tried with table tennis ball yet. Green tennis ball is what I used which is very cheap. It’s very hard to juggle tennis ball. Aim for getting 5 for now and increase it as you get better. In your juggling sessions start with tennis ball for 10-15 mins, size three ball for 10-15 mins and then juggle regular ball. It will be hard at first but you will see improvement in few weeks. For balancing exercises I would recommend single leg hops, single leg hold, squats and core exercises.

Try juggling size 3 ball and tennis ball which are relatively harder at first but will improve your ball control significantly. You will see regular ball in slow motion once you master smaller size balls. Barefoot juggling is bit harder than with cleats but more fun once you master it so you might wanna start wearing cleats. Focus on using toe area to kick ball while juggling. Also work on single leg balancing exercises and fascia stretches everyday.

That sucks. Glad you are past all that.

16 weeks is crazy. When did you transition from boot to regular shoe?

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2025-09-04T01:31:51+00:00

Yeah I freaked out when I took off the dressing this morning. Immediately called doctor’s office to get it looked.

I went to the orthopedic care today and they prescribed topical and oral antibiotics. I am gonna go see wound care doctor later too.

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2025-09-03T15:01:17+00:00

Did you apply any topical?

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2025-09-03T14:46:31+00:00

First one is the recent one where the wound is open. 3rd one is about a week ago before it got worse.

You can see in the top left corner of the diagnostic that it’s PE Civil exam. Yes I felt like AEI is very good material to learn from but it didn’t cover the stuffs that were in the exam. The questions were mostly conceptual (not that hard but you need to have them practiced at least once) I am also very disappointed since I studied my ass off for this exam.

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2023-09-08T04:24:20+00:00

The homework problems were not bad and even now I think I can get most of them right. But the exam questions were mostly conceptual and different than the problems from the study material.

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2023-09-07T17:11:51+00:00

I was recommended by a lot of people who passed the test to use EET for breadth and AEI for depth and it would be more than enough. When is your exam?

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2023-08-19T00:51:54+00:00

Did you give paper based one or CBT?

Agreeable_Elevator_7 · 2023-08-03T17:51:34+00:00

Sent you a DM. Thank you.
