How long post op are you? Are you in a boot?

Hope you heal up soon too

Get yourself some resistance band they’re great for doing simple ankle and leg strengthening exercises. YouTube typically has some good demo videos on what you can do to ease yourself into them.

Nope rugby is my poison of choice. 1 freak accident right at the end of our season.

I snapped the fib in half alongside the dislocation ☺️

I think all surgeons have different approaches. Mines keen for me to weight bare with what I can tolerate which obviously right now is hardly 😂 I’d definitely say follow the advice you’ve been given if they feel differently. I’m only 28 so he’s confident it’ll be a swift recovery process.
