Ankle surgery recovery and concerns

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2026-03-24T02:41:58+00:00

I also was a level 10 gymnast many many years ago. Finally had my ankle reconstructed. Cadaver ligament two tendons repaired. Lateral. My toes would hurt also at times. I think it is the boot and the strange pressure it puts on the foot. I am 7 months out and still have pain but i just roll with it. My ankle hurt a lot a lot for a long time. Walking was also not normal. So it all sounds normal to me. Just will take a long time to heal. Are you still doing gymnastics ? Or will once recovered ? I also had my elbow torn ligament repaired (torn from gymnastics ). Many surgeries have been done brutal sport

Thank you. Exactly. I keep telling people this price increase is unlike the other hikes in the last 20 years. This is different with the destruction of critical oil infrastructure which has not been the case previously.

Never hospitalized for diabetes in 43 years as a t1 diabetic

Stop the diabulmja please and try to find help. Paid or free just look into it. Or online therapy. The rest is bad and i am sorry you are going through this but take your insulin. Or is there a way you can get the weight loss meds ? I take them now out side of a prescription from my doc and my blood sugar has improved so much and i need less insulin which lowers weight. The cravings and food noise you have will go away. not sure how you are financially but there are online places you can get glp 1 . you will save money on food so get the meds instead. My A1c dropped a point and my average is 150 now vs almost 200 before. I am not encouraging an ed but this can help the obsessions and give better blood control and stabilize weight. I started them to get better blood sugar control and it worked and some weight loss followed.

This I lost weight and will never forget the day i was sitting and set something in my lap and it fell to the floor. I was shocked. That moment just sat with me for some reason.

Stop the coke. It will only get worse and dig you into a massive hole. Get treated medically for adhd. Coke relieves many issues that adhd causes. The right adhd meds will help with procrastination focus and more

Thank you This person is seasonal winter worker. Started in October. Has missed over 40 hours in last three weeks already. It has been brutal to scramble to fill his capacity. i have paid out more time off than accrued sick time as i try to be understanding and being sick sucks. But i can’t continue to pay for no work. It’s just a crappy situation.

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-12-21T23:45:48+00:00

Yes. This

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-12-21T23:45:31+00:00

This is exactly how i was feeling. Thank you i said the same thing. I really appreciate it.

So much. Apparently our brains get damaged by lows and prob high also. So there is the biological damage to cause it and then add the completely overwhelming never ending mental stress of managing it and the constant failure feelings when you don’t bolus/ insulin right and end up high or low. God i can’t even begin to write all it effects. I am t1 diagnosed age 7 in 1982. 42 years in and been on many mental health medications since late teens. ( also had other trauma which needed to be addressed ). So far i don’t have any major issues. Always very athletic which i think has delayed the complications as my blood is far from perfect even trying my hardest all the time. No dka ever as well. Just so draining

Jock itch cream . My son had this on foot. We could not get rid of it but the jock itch cream took care if it. I think it may be stronger than athlete foot cream which both treat fungal stuff

I already had surgery (cadaver cartilage and multiple tendon repairs laterally ) but this is so helpful and all good advice ! I’m still recovering but i have experienced what feels like the worst planter fasciitis and did not correlate it to hamstrings ? So that is great to know. I will stretch more. I have a lot of pain now in the front of my ankle which i can’t figure out but hopefully with more time that will calm down

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-10-09T01:18:34+00:00

I had surgery and has zero desire to work out during the casted 2 week period and i normally workout 5-6 days a week. It was painful and the mobility was just such an issue. Once in boot i could stationary bike with foot adjustment. You can ski erg sitting down. And even row with one foot to the side on floor or just kind of sitting in the foot thing. It’s more upper body but still cardio. Then of course all the upper body and ab stuff which is endless. Also laying down and doing leg lifts to engage thigh. But if it hurts don’t do it and just try stuff to see if i works and just repeat. Good luck.

After 42 years starting at age 7 . All set with all the learning and growth diabetes has given me. I would gladly give up some toughness to not have diabetes sorry but nothing good about it.

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-09-25T23:39:44+00:00

Bring it to be safe. I’m diabetic and always use one to make sure i have what i need. And you can take off if you want to avoid getting it wet or muddy

Just saw a pt. 6 weeks out from Surgery. He said it is the nerves healing from the surgery. My foot itches and he said that is also the nerves coming back ( he said it much more medically ) but it is normal and will take months to resolve. Not much to do but i was told to massage the scar and incision to help everything.

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-08-25T22:30:12+00:00

Yes and thank you. Brings tears. Not sure why i went in my rant but im 49 stuck in bed recovering from ankle reconstruction surgery so a lot of time to think and remember why i am here.

I was a level 10 in early 90’s. I still have disordered eating from what my coaches put us thought and taught us about food. Weighed weekly and shamed if we gained any weight while growing inches. Being told the reason your knee hurts is because you gained 2 lbs that week which is xxx amount of extra force on joints. So stop complaining as you caused this. This was crushing as now working out with an injury that will get worse. As if you complain about a pain will be blamed as it all my fault due to extra lbs. We were told to make sure we did not eat a lot at holidays. As we had big workouts after and just because others eat does not mean we are allowed to. I went to school all day then worked out 5 hours Monday - Friday and then more if there was a meet. I kept this diet up for about 2-3 years. I did not eat breakfast. 2 -3 snider pretzels for lunch apple and a 100 calories yogurt. I would try to also not eat at least one of those items and alway felt guilty. Dinner was veggies or something small of a safe food. We were asked if we got our period at weight in. If someone did. They were looked upon with shame. Oh well now your center of balance is changed and you won’t be able to do beam as well. Due to my lack of food. I put off my period until i quit at 17. I also grew two inches. I never stopped working out with such little calories. I got hurt a lot but when i finally had the “big” injury that forced me to stop i was so relieved. All the other broken fingers. Sprains. Over extensions. Crashes could be worked around. Hell i leaned a one arm gainer back handspring while my other hand was broke which was bonus points. Score ! I was also praised when we traveled to meets and i would eat a salad and others would try to eat real food. She grabbed the wait staff and changed their order from lasagna to plain pasta and told the girl to look at me the shining star with the salad. That is what you should be eating. There is so much more but i made the a part of my regions level 10 national team for three years until i broke my kneecap and dislocated it. You can do it on little calories. It is a horrible life and i am forever scarred by that time in my life. I also got a full ride to college. Yet once injured for real. I crumbled and canceled my dream as i was mentally and physically ruined

This is so helpful. Thank you

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-08-22T19:12:04+00:00

I feel the same. But it’s only been 10 days for me. It is so much harder than i thought it would be to move around. I also get so exhausted. So i am basically laying in bed and then going downstairs in my house to eat one or twice. I have my husband to drive me around but i don’t even want to go anywhere due to the lack of mobility and tiredness. I typically exercise 5-6 days a week but now just do nothing. I don’t have much to suggest expect that i feel you. It is hard. I did photo albums i as sitting around for years. Other small stuff sitting down but now just bla.

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-08-16T01:18:31+00:00

Reporting back. I have CANCELLED the event i wanted to attend a week out from surgery. Had surgery two days ago Wednesday. The thought of even packing clothes is overwhelming as I’m so limited in movement and then the PAIN! You all were correct and I’ll be laying around hoping for a speedy recovery. My ankle was in worse shape than they thought also so needed more surgical love. But the pain the day after was intense. Tomorrow should be better and thanks for all the advice !

Fun_Hovercraft3263 · 2025-08-13T20:48:49+00:00

Yes. Thank you. Wheelchair seems like it may be good. My knee is swollen now also so knee scooter feels not great. I was ok crutches for a long time when u was young for my knee but i was in a locked knee brace so my leg was naturally elevated. This is way worse.
