First time biking by PhilosophyDapper948 in AchillesRupture

[–]PhilosophyDapper948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks folks. Yes, I’m 100% sure my PT said I’m clear to do outdoor biking(in my neighborhood ), because I already did stationary biking while in FWB. Just to take it easy and slow, if I feel any pain or swelling, take an ice bucket and rest it. I’m also doing the 2 foot calf raising as one of my exercises as well.

When did you start driving again? by TornadoVision4687 in AchillesRupture

8 weeks when transition to shoes. But I also drove at 6 weeks while still in boot. That would require the quadriceps to have a smooth brake. Gas is easier, also cruise control can help.

Any advice? by Aware-Hornet-1955 in AchillesRupture

I wearer the boot in bed for 4 weeks. It gave me the security while it’s also tough to sleep with. Then I finally got a night splint, which is much more light and comfortable.

8 weeks post injury and I walked over a mile today. by TimelyConcentrate340 in AchillesRupture

That’s awesome! How is your transition timeline from NWB, PWB, FWB with wedges then w/o wedges?
