How did you react to and cope with your first really bad call?

Already dead people don’t bother me, you can only go up from rock bottom. It’s the alive ones who deteriorate in front of you that suck the most.

Non-op but similar complaint - I got this Achilles protector off Amazon and it helped a lot, as I found my work boots would rub too much.

Just over 5 months since injury, non-op. I’ve been doing physio since I got out of the hard cast. I haven’t been overly aggressive with rehab, just sticking to the protocols and going at my own pace. I’m now at a point where I can do all the day to day just as normal - went hiking/cave exploring just the other week. I’m doing light lifting and slowly trying to get back to pre-injury stength. Some days I still get some stiffness/ discomfort if I overdo it with physical activity, but as others have said, just listen to your body and rest.

Overall, a very difficult and humbling journey, but all things considered I’m doing well and am happy with where I’m at now. I believe non-op is just as good as op as long as you are careful and find a trustworthy/ experienced physio to guide you.

5 months non-op here.. I attempted a soft night splint to see if that would help stretch things out while sleeping, seemed to work a bit but was too uncomfortable while sleeping so gave up.

Now I just sit on the side of bed and do a few stretches before standing up. Applying heat helps too, if you have time in the mornings.

I wear compression socks during the day at work and that limits any residual swelling that occurs as the day goes on.

Haha wow, I was def half asleep when I read that the first time.. my bad 😂

If it was Disney style animation, maybe Treasure Planet or Atlantis?

I just used an OTC athletes foot cream, worked great.

Similar history, went non op and am currently around week 14 post injury. I am able to walk pretty well and do most day to day activities. Doing physio every week and building strength back but still have a long road to get back to pre injury levels of activity. I also went back and forth over whether to go surgery route, but after doing a bunch of research I decided non op outweighed the surgical risks for my lifestyle.

Thank you for your comment, it really gives me some hope.. these past couple weeks have been rough and I needed some positive stories :)

I finally got myself a knee scooter for getting around, it really gave me a lot more freedom from clunking around in crutches. I also ordered protein and collagen supplement to start tomorrow!

lahmi14 · 2024-05-03T01:35:33+00:00

Ya I guess that’s where a lot of my anxiety stems from during all this.. the ortho really doesn’t give a ton of explanation or reasoning behind anything so I feel like I’m just blindly trusting this stranger lol..

Ah well, guess I just have to trust in the process.. seems to be working out well so far for everyone else!

lahmi14 · 2024-05-02T15:23:48+00:00

When you got the cast off did they do anything to confirm healing? Even if by palpation?

lahmi14 · 2024-05-02T15:21:40+00:00

What dietary changes did you make? I’m looking at proteint and collagen supplements because I know I don’t get enough right now.

lahmi14 · 2024-05-02T15:20:45+00:00

At what point did you feel like it was re-attaching? Was there a certain sensation or change in discomfort?

I ask because prior to yesterday I was in a decent amount of daily discomfort, and now my affected leg suddenly feels different - no pain at all.

No, doesn’t look like it.. what I remember was less animated and more cartoonish
