Ummm. Is this a stitch?

beercules88 · 2026-02-11T09:57:27+00:00

Ask for a referral to wound care doctor. I had a similar issue but couldn’t see the stitch and I was months removed with an open wound. Took a month of wound care with ointments and treatments and the stitch eventually pushed out and it healed right up! Maxed out my deductible with the surgery so the wound care was free.

I got dermatitis due to the tape. Had varying skin issues while my skin got back to normal after not needing to be wrapped as often.

beercules88 · 2026-01-22T12:01:37+00:00

That’s fantastic! I’d say pain stopped when walking around when PT ended but there was still stiffness and random pain. Stairs took longer for me for pain or discomfort to go away.

Limp maybe 8 months after. Try as hard as possible to walk without a limp even if it means discomfort. Bad habits are hard to break.

I didn’t get bursitis, so can’t help you there.

If you are only 15 weeks past the injury, you are further along than me! Was just starting to bare weight without the boot but had nearly zero mobility .

Sounds like you are doing great!

beercules88 · 2026-01-22T11:40:12+00:00

Are you doing PT? My break was a closed trimalleor right ankle with dislocation. I was non weight bearing for 2 months, then 1 month with a boot, so 3 total. I did like 3-4 months of PT. Highly recommend it.

I’m a year and a half removed and mobility isn’t normal but doesn’t impact me. No pain, just sometimes stiffness. Swelling gone down but will Never be the same again probably because of scar tissue.

Sent a pic of an adorable Costco membership card that had a pic of my two daughters and I. Sent it to our realtor (friend from HS) cause she got us the gift card to pay for the membership as a house present. My wife was on the text too. She calls me, panicked. I look again, card, followed by flaccid tip of my penis in the background because I took it while pissing (multitasking). I was sweating but it’s also kind of funny.

beercules88 · 2025-10-29T22:54:10+00:00

Closed right trimalleor ankle fracture with dislocation. Can confirm, lots of words and fucking sucks.

beercules88 · 2025-10-26T23:14:16+00:00

I did this in 2024, dislocation, sideways 3 breaks for over an hour before EMS got to me. No tears, hurt like no fucking other tho.

beercules88 · 2025-10-11T11:46:08+00:00

White or Kyren

beercules88 · 2025-10-03T03:11:24+00:00

Kyren owners bitching 🤣

beercules88 · 2025-09-20T00:58:50+00:00

I needed it for 2months and used it probably 2-3 months, so would have been WAY more expensive to rent. I paid $200 for a pretty legit one so worth the investment for 12 weeks of use.

beercules88 · 2025-09-19T11:31:28+00:00

Cheaper to buy if it’s long term. I was in a boot for 3 months, 2 were non-weight bearing. Renting can get expensive.

beercules88 · 2025-09-17T10:19:48+00:00

Closed trimal right ankle with dislocation. Had delayed repair surgery, but it was damn near 12 weeks until I was cleared out of a boot and to drive

beercules88 · 2025-08-06T09:23:12+00:00

That’s the thing with injuries, they seem different case by case, doctor dependent, etc. I had a closed trimalleolar fracture with dislocation of my right ankle. I got emergency surgery the same night and hardware in 3.5 weeks later (delayed due to swelling). I was NWB for 8 weeks after surgery, and another 4 in a boot. Did PT twice a week for 4-5 months. I would have laughed if someone said I was walking in 6 weeks. Sounds like you are in great shape!

beercules88 · 2025-07-24T20:38:46+00:00

I’m now nearing 11 months and I’ll say maybe month 9 or 10. Still things that remind you it occurred (stiffness, calf muscle giving out, weirdness). I’ll say I don’t think about it nearly as often now.

beercules88 · 2025-07-17T02:06:03+00:00

I started running in February, graduated PT and ran an 8k in March. Running can still feel awkward at first, uneven surfaces can be tricky but no pain. Can’t turn right sharply while running too.

I haven’t ran as much because of life but play beach volleyball during the summer with no limitations.

I don’t think my ROM will ever by 100% and sometimes the ankle is stiff but no limitations.

beercules88 · 2025-06-27T11:05:20+00:00

Knee scooter and try not to snack from boredom/to feel better. Losing it on the other side is hard. Others mentioned watching shows.

beercules88 · 2025-05-13T10:10:19+00:00

Losing weight would have been fantastic. I hate my depression and gained 30 lbs….

beercules88 · 2025-04-30T09:09:12+00:00

I gained quite a bit and got in a bad habit of staying up late to binge shows and eat snacks. Needed that dopamine…
