Broken Ankle Week 3

Today is the beginning of my 3rd week of recovery. I stopped taking all pain medications all together and it's just calcium / vitamins for me.

My PT started me on a new exercise. Rolled towel underneath my leg. I have to extend the leg and push on the towel as if I am pressing grapes into wine. Today did 100.

The back muscle of my leg is beginning to atrophy, which is normal and will be regained in due time. If anyone else experienced this please let me know.

There is a wonderful store Cambridge Naturals close to where I am staying and I highly recommend the following remedies: Arnica for bruising both in a cream form and taken orally and Symphytum also known as Comfrey helps in rapid knitting of the bones.

Any other suggestions, recommendations are always welcome. For all of us in the same boat, lets hang in there...time and appropriate care helps heal. Happy healing.

  1. Hi Anya,
    I have a small chip in my talus bone which happened 2 weeks ago, I have been put into an air cast, I noticed that my calf muscles have began to atrophy as well. I pray for your recovery

    Regards,
    Luke

  2. Luke your muscles will return back to normal. I notice that for the past few weeks I have been getting muscle strenght back. Once you are up and walking and especially once you start PT you will be fine.

  3. I believe everything published made a ton of sense. But, think on this, what if you added a little
    information? I am not saying your information is not good.
    , but suppose you added a post title that makes people desire more?
    I mean "Broken Ankle Week 3" is a little plain. You
    could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article headlines to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers interested about what you've written.
    Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a little livelier.

  6. Hey superb blog! Does running a blog such as this require a lot of work?
    I've no expertise in programming but I had been hoping to
    start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I know this is off topic nevertheless I simply needed to
    ask. Thanks a lot!

  10. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
    but I had to tell someone!
