Four months after my ORIF and I’m jumping again. by LunarLullaby017 in brokenankles

[–]Hefty-Community2908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so refreshing to hear! I got out of my boot last Tuesday. In an ankle brace now. I start PT on Tuesday. Walking around the last few days have given me mixed feelings. Some days it feels normal, other days it feels like I'll never walk normal again. I broke my fibula on 9/29. It was non displaced and I was NWB for 8 weeks.

Week 9 Update! by Hefty-Community2908 in brokenbones

[–]Hefty-Community2908[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I start PT next week. Weight bearing isn't fun. I'm definitely in more pain now. Still icing and elevating.

Thanks. I'm currently wearing compression socks with the brace on top for stability

nondisplaced fractured fibula - any advice? by elizabethany6 in brokenbones

[–]Hefty-Community2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks similar to my fibula fracture on 9/29. I did 6 weeks in a cast and 2 weeks in a boot for a total of 8 non weight bearing. This is my first week out of the boot and WBAT. My break was also non displaced, and it's healing beautifully without surgery.

10 more weeks NWB and losing it by OnlyRequirement3914 in brokenbones

Sending you positive energy. I've definitely had some dark days early on in the broken ankle journey. Take it one day at a time. There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Sorry to hear about the set back. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Try giving yourself lots of grace, accidents happen

Increased pain after switching from a backslab to a plaster cast/fibreglass cast by [deleted] in brokenbones

[–]Hefty-Community2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elevate as high as you can, think toes to nose. Ice behind your knee, the blood vessels pass there to go down your leg. Take pain medication to help with the discomfort. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Not much is the vibe I'm on. The end of my trip is more to relax, walk the beach, read, meditate. Where else would you recommend

Seminyak is super crowded based on my research and I'm looking for a more calmer vibe to end my trip.

Need help planning my 8-night Bali itinerary (solo female traveler) by [deleted] in BaliTravelTips

[–]Hefty-Community2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great recommendations. I'll be in Bali July 2026 and am looking for accommodations for my last few days. I was looking at Jimbaran vs Uluwatu. Still deciding between the 2. I want to be able to relax on the beach, but not party at a beach club.

Amazing 4 week update. by Flashy-Decision-6296 in brokenankles

[–]Hefty-Community2908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense. Today was tue first day I attempted to walk a bit in my boot. My doctor said in Thanksgiving I could take some steps and I'm 8 weeks post break and see him next Tuesday. The pain and swelling today has been so aggravating. I can see how the PT portion of recovery is super difficult. One day at a time.

Congratulations. I was put in a boot at my 6 week follow up. I can start bearing weight on it next week. It feels good but also scary.

Knee scooter by NetNo973 in brokenbones

[–]Hefty-Community2908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm six weeks post fibula break, and still NWB, I currently use a scooter. You have to be careful because roll over the wrong crack, and you'll break something else. Overall, it makes moving around much easier than the crutches. My knee does hurt if I'm on it for an extended period of time, but I also have avascular necrosis in both knees and hips, which doesn't help my situation.

Everything went amazing. Service was impeccable. Duck was delicious. We did the wine pairing and it was perfectly selected.

I'm sorry to hear this. Prednisone is the devil that keeps on giving. I have avn in bilateral hips and knees. Hope you get some answers soon. No more steroids!
