December 7th, 2023, I broke my tibia and ankle. Had emergency surgery, plates, screws put in. It's been an insane journey to recovery. The pain, swelling, and emotional roller-coaster is something I'll never forget. This video and all of the comments make me feel so much better knowing im not alone and that the recovery process im going through is normal. Happy healing to anyone reading this.

Please be careful. The crutches must rest over the side of your chest, a measurement of up to 3 fingers straight from your armpit line to the side of your chest. Otherwise you will end up with a Crutch palsy which is compression of your axillary nerve lying underneath your armpit. I am a certified physiotherapist so hope this helps.

I just fractured my ankle and it's the worst thing to ever happen to me.

Just about to turn 62 had a high ankle break holidaying in turkey 9 weeks done feeling your pain be strong

5 weeks from broken heal bone. Cast comes off in 11 days. Thanks for helping me preset my mind for the next stage.

On about july 18th yes im very unlucky since summer i broke my ankle at school being stupid knee sliding with my friends and i broke the both of the bones in my ankle and my growth plate and i had to have surgery a few weeks ago and im recovering just fine! Tomorrow i have my walking boot!

Had surgery two weeks ago for scar debridement and removal of an os trigonum, extra piece of bone in the ankle, have had issues for yrs till the doctors finally relented and agreed. Will be getting the splint removed this coming Tuesday. after that therapy and hopefully pain free walking.

I had a complete ankle replacement. And tendon surgery.

Worst advice ever

I believe you go toe to heel not heel to toe. Surely they instructed you?

Got my toe amputated a few month ago and still havent been able to figure it out yet and im scared as hell i dont know what todo anymore

Just ordered mine can’t wait to use it on my leg of lamb on the barbie 😊

2 weeks after triple malleolar surgery 😢😢I doing all I can do to speed recovery, I am happy founding your video because ultimately this is ALL on us to achieve the full recovery. I love yoga, I love to jog. I am pretty sure ❤❤😊 I am going to be fine. Thanks for this video.

2 weeks post surgery for trimalleolar fracture with dislocation and ligament damage. (Bicycle accident) I’m still 4 weeks out from even putting weight on it. It is so frustrating. Reading all the comments on this post is so affirming.

I just broke my fib and tib three weeks out I'll be in your shoes soon

Hey Nic, thanks for the great content! I just wanted to mention, I have to search for your channel. I don't get any video/short/live notifications from you even when I'm subscribed with notifications on. Could you please make a community post with a link of your latest live/short/video so it would be easier to see when you upload? It would also make it easier to engage with it. Also another suggestion, I was wondering if you could do Q+A's maybe from instagram for your videos or live? Also a link tree page for all your links? it just makes it easier to see which is the newest link added? Also do you go live once or twice a week? I've been checking everyday and I tend to miss most of your lives unfortunately. Thanks for all the help again!!

Did u have surgery?

Have you ever come across issues with your theramask? I got mine in May and the LED lights don’t turn on, it just vibrates and I the only way to stop the device is if I plug it back in the charger. I really wanted to like this thing.

Man makes me feel so much at ease knowing I'm not the only person that's been through this. I had a Trimaelleor frscture 3 weeks ago and I'm so paranoid to move my leg even a little bit. How long does it take guys to be able to walk to a little?

One week after cast was removed 😭 so hard and painful

or you could just do pull ups instead of this and not look like a middle age woman

Let me know what videos you want next!!

I just had surgery to remove a bone spur that was rubbing on my Achilles tendon. It hurts so bad to try to walk and it’s such a weird feeling trying to walk at all. Good luck. It feels like it’s going to be a much longer journey than I ever expected.

Back with the workout videos! Let me know what I should make next!

hi can you please please contact me???

Congrats, I hope I’m walking in 8 weeks. Just had my ankle replaced and all my ligaments and tendon reconstructed 6 weeks ago.I am now walking with a boot and crutches, so I’m pretty grateful for that! Still have lots of numbness in my foot. Anyone have tips for the numbness I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I feel you I tore my acl, mcl. meniscus at work on 2/4/2023. I ended up in the hospital on 2/15/2024 due from me not walking correct a got a callous that bursted and gave me callulites up my right leg. I waa in the hospital for 11 days and on antibiotics for 51 days. I left hospital with a picc line and continued antibiotics at home. So my foot dr gave m the ok to talk to my knee dr about surgery. I finally got my knee surgery and from walking a got another callous and was placed in a foot brace. Knee dr is keeping me out of work for now. It just seems one step forward and two step backwards. The pain in my knee was very painful. I, get depressed and thinking stupid things.

Just getting to this point going to be interesting for sure double bone break and ankle fracture

Move the INJURED LEG with the crutches as explained by UA-cam channel THERAPEUTICASSOCIATES , the video is called “Walking with crutches, partial-weight bearing” I am still on a knee scooter and waiting for an MRI on the 24th. Broken ankle….

Wow! I had Tibia surgery non-weight bearing 3 months and I am learning to walk with a walker-I give you credit using crutches! BTW Nice Drum Set!

😅 I’m still on non weight bearing 3 weeks in and 3 weeks to go. 😅 Terrified to learn how to walk again after 2 100% torn ligaments, and a 100% torn tendon in my outside ankle 😵‍💫 They said I would have been better off breaking a bone. 😂🤦‍♀️🥴 I hope your walking journey goes well! 🎉

Amazing how majority of the comments have a story on an ankle injury, helps to know you are not alone and will never be alone. I’m here to join and say I have too. May 19th, I suffered a Trimalleolar Fracture. Did the surgery, cast removal , stitch removal, and currently doing the 6 weeks of non-weight bearing and next appointment on the road to rehabilitate to walk . Extremely nervous 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Im 3 months post op right now after dislocated foot, 1 compound break, and 4 fractures. 9 pieces of titanium installed. Its really a tough process. I still cant walk. PT is the best way to go. The dislocation did more damage then anything! Im dealingvwith swelling still. Im slowly getting there. My goal is to be walking without crutches in another month. Good luck and be persistent to anyone struggling with foot or ankle break. Worst pain ever!

I have a trimalleolar fracture in my right ankle as well..after my first ORIF a week later that theybtook xrays and saw my bones moved back to its broken state, now i need another surgery to shift it all back again and the doctor wants to use different size screws...needless to say i have a new doctor now, i meet with her in 2 days and hopefully my surgery is more successful lol...im terrified about having a second surgery..but i appreciate you for these videos..

Can you eat it just fresh off the plant or does it ha to be cooked??

How do people get through this with out getting hooked on opioids? I fell yesterday and will have surgery in 4 days and have do much pain! I am concerned about this very much… thank for any advice!!!

Just discovered this term. I’m 63 and it bums me out, but such is life.

Nick, great story. I fractured my calcaneus 2 years ago May. Heal fracture completely healed, but numbness still exists from upper right side of ankle to entire foot. Im told the nerve blocker causes the numbness. I disagree, i believe and asking you if the nerves were damaged during surgery. What say you?

Trimalleolar fracture Nov 22! Still use crutches, moonboot. 5 plates, 9 pins, metalwork removal, washout and debridement and now waiting on a 4th surgery, an ankle fusion. It's been a long 18 months! A very difficult mental struggle... Keep going my friend, you will get there 😁

I started walking 11 weeks after broken ankle and op. It was really scary. Remember to use the crutch on the opposite side. Wg my left ankle was injured, use the crutch in the right hand side. At 12 weeks I was walking without crutches. It is scary, trust yourself.

I thought Lactic acid is what's burnt into lactate

These exercises helped changed my life and many of my clients!! Give them a shot!

I will try and report back in six months

When you had your external fixator removed was it painful? Did you get sedated? I had mine removed in doctor's office. He offered me nothing no sedation not even Tylenol. The pain was horrific upon removal. I thought I was going to pass out. I was so angry at the doctor for putting me in that situation.

2 months passed from my surgery, i just started walking on my foot with the 2 helping sticks (sorry dont know the word on english lol)

How many weeks after surgery you started this?

I can't believe I missed this! It's exactly what I'm struggling with 😅 thanks man!
