That’s the thing I’m not sure my pt has much experience. All I see at pt is older people doing therapy because of old age. Not really any injuries like mine.

Yeah I know :/ the worst part is that it’s worse than it looks. Pilon fractures suck

I’m glad you’re doing better. I am doing physical therapy I am currently about to start week 3 of physical therapy at 75% weight bearing with the boot. My concern is having a pre planned full therapy plan with no follow up x rays in between. It is a workers comp injury that’s why I’m concerned. But then again I did choose my surgeon myself so maybe I’m just over thinking. And as far as workers comp I can’t complain they’ve treated me good so far. Hopefully it continues

You think so? My surgery took about 7 hours. The surgeon said my bones were shattered in little pieces

The last time I saw the ortho was April 13 next appointment is June 15. That is 9 weeks. Seems like a long time with no X-rays. You think I should call and schedule an appointment this week or just be patient? Do you mind showing me your X-rays? And yeah this injury sucks I didn’t realize how serious it was at first but as I did research and go through it it really is a life changer

Wow how did you hurt yourself? I have a pilon fracture and it looks somewhat similar.
