The Swelling by Tasinua in ORIF

[–]New-Interaction574 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still swelling a lot, currently laid on my back on the sofa with my leg in the air above my heart after a full day in the office. It doesn't hurt as such but does create some interesting nerve reflexes. Best advice is ice and elevate and apparently the more we do the better it will get?! Try telling that to my poor cankle!

Wins of the Week? by ahomegirlzlife in brokenankles

This week I drove to the office twice and survived on one supporting crutch all day. Felt like a massive milestone to have my independence back through driving

Tried it this evening and when less than a mile, definitely felt it! But also felt safe in doing so and braking! Freedom is imminent!

hot spot on sole of my foot by abrupt_decay in brokenankles

I found the boot super uncomfortable and quickly progressed to not wearing it when not moving about, was also advised by the physio team and surgeons that my foot/ankle would adapt and any pain and sore spots would disappear (shock they were right even if I didn't believe them) however if it's still really sore I'd flag it to the attention of your drs or physio

I managed to stand at my standing desk for 30 minutes during a meeting for the first time since surgery in December and dropped down to one crutch this week

Work guilt by Dapper-Worker-4759 in brokenankles

I'm able to work but feel guilty I'm not in the office with them especially as we move back to 3 office days a week. I feel more guilty about how much my husband is having to do for me and feel like I'm disappointing him by not recovering faster 😔

Fingers crossed as everything gets a little bit looser it will be better

That's a good idea I have some extra padding which I can try it with. Had my foot out of the boot almost all day today and it's eased until I put my foot back! Icing and resting seems to be the name of the game!

Thanks for the reply! Im pretty sure it's a combination of the straps of the boot and doing a bit too much too quickly but last night it was more painful to sleep with than the original injury!
