Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been looking all over for a distal fibula non surgical case and finally found one. Gives me motivation to press on!
Just a reminder folks, It's not a competition! It can take a minimum of 3 months and if you take longer that's okay. There will be stiffness & swelling! Everybody is different, listen to your body.
You're right, each fracture is different and people should always do what their doctors say. The case I show in my video was a very mild injury so recovery is not always so quick and smooth
@@Justcillin10 That's normal. The swelling is no joke either. I got a massage gun and that has been helping with any scar tissue issues on my ankle. Just keep walking and stretching and massaging. I am back to playing tennis, my mobility isn't the same.
Yes, every single Fracture/Break is different, I am now coming into 5th month since my very small fissure, the way I fell what happened with my right foot has left me with still having to use a walking aid and the pain in my ligaments and tendons is at times very painful... Yes exercise yes doing everything I was given, now I shall get to see a Traumatologist Urgent....As it seems there is a issue with my left foot...So more x-ray last week on both feet, now my Head Dr cannot send me for Ultrasound scan etc only the Traumatologist can . 5 months later. I am now using Castor oil 24/7 and hoping and praying this works. I don't take pharmaceutical drugs, even when I fell and caused the fracture.... No creams have worked, so I am giving this beautiful plant oil a try...It may take 24/7 for 3/4 weeks but I shall do whatever it takes to get back to walking correctly and driving. When you have no income and the tiny pension doesn't even pay rent, yes need to earn again and not have to ask for help from family and friends. I have always stood on my own 2 feet 😂😂 want to do this again....Or find a job working from home!!! Much more difficult.. Anyway wishing each one of you a speedy recovery..
Thank you for this video. I broke my ankle 7 weeks ago and was given the green light to start walking TODAY. I'm starting out slow and walking around the house with crutches. I really loved this video.
Seven weeks for an avulsion fracture? I have an avulsion fibula fracture and still cant walk but its only been couple weeks. Everytime i get out of bed the blood rushes to the swelling area intensifying the pain… for now i can only move my right foot down and side ways but not up… Every-time i try moving it up i feel as if a bone is impeding the movement
@@VideosBanales - I had a trimalleolar fracture which means 3 separate breaks in the ankle. The accident will have been four months ago this week. I am walking (and have been for awhile) without crutches. My walk looks fairly normal. I still have periods of achiness in my ankle/foot. I still tire more easily. And there continues to be very noticeable swelling in my ankle/foot. My orthopedic surgeon says that it may take a year before I am 100% back to normal. I have a lot of metal and screws in my ankle and am considering having it all removed after a year has passed which is when you are told you can remove the hardware after surgery.
This is great to see. I had a bad ankle sprain and couldn't put any weight on my foot. I'm really struggling to feel normal while walking again. This gives me hope though!
3 weeks after cast and boot and still walk or put much weight on it. My ankle was so locked up after a non weightbearing cast and boot. Lots of exercises but taking a long time ...so long since April 15 injury occurred. Nice to see u walking and happy
Thanks for this video. I have a distal fibula fracture and it's been my week 5. They removed my cast on week 4. Next week will be my 6week. Hoping that I can walk again
I have a stable broken fibula and I'm in a boot. It's day 11 swelling and bruising are finally improving. I go back to get x-rays three weeks from today and I will probably start physical therapy on the 5th week from injury. The orthopedic said I will wear the boot for 6 weeks if all goes well. This is such a great video!!!!
Iv been in it for two weeks and it appears i lost mobility trying to move it up, or when i try leaning forward, i cant.. The swelling has still yet dissipated so maybe its still healing and it’s preventing me from moving it. Is ok to trying mobility exercises now or wait a whole month?
Back in March I broke my right ankle. I needed surgery, 7 screws + 1 plate. It has been a journey.Physio helps tremendously. Come July 20 th which will be 4 mths I walk with a cane. Practicing my stride.It's coming.I just need to be patient.
Just fractured my distal fibula and had surgery today. About 12 hours later and still feel nothing after the nerve block. Not looking forward to when the pain comes when the nerves come back. Going on a cruise in 8 weeks (a LOT of walking) so going to do my best with PT and figure out what to bring to get around long distances. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the video!! I can't wait to be back walking. I'm on week 9 of breaking the bones on both sides of my ankle and it's taking me a while to get there. I have a terrible limp but I'm getting there!
I broke my foot 7 weeks ago and I’ve gotten my range of motion back and decrease in pain but I still can’t walk on it. When I try to by myself it’s the hardest thing
Im getting so tired of it i broke my ankle really bad almost 5 months ago had 2 surgeries and 8 weeks of recovery i still cant walk straight and my summer break is around the corner 😭
Had a cast for 10 days and then was boot in a walking boot right after (allowed to weight bare with no crutches) but when i try to walk with no crutches i just can't my body just stops me from puttibg weight on it 😔. Gonna try to keep working on it as weeks go by.
Back on November 2021 I had surgery for my peroneal brevis tendon and now I just got back from my doctor and she's sending me to get a CT scan cuz MRI is showing I have distal fibula bruise on the same ankle. I'm crossing my fingers I won't need surgery.
Quite a long time, it was very swollen when the cast was removed 6 weeks after the fracture. And it took a couple more to look 'normal' again. Also the bruising lasted for a very long time
I am weak five post a mildly displaced distal if you are fracture. I am mediately went into an air boot. My doctor told me on week one to try and bear a little bit of weight and did my opinion. That was way too soon. I am week five and have not bared weight yet. I will see him next week. He also has not mentioned physical therapy or any plan of treatment for me. Is this normal?
@@lindashaw8466 I did not bear weight at all until week 6 if I recall correctly, I think I said it on the video. But every case is different, so let's see what your doctor says
I currently have a spiral fracture of my distal fibular. I've been weight bearing with and without boot from start. This makes me concerned i should be doing less????
Hi! I had distal fibula fracture particularly in malleolar calcaneal spur, (no surgery) it's now 7 weeks ,the doctor said it's only 80% bone healed. I'm using air walker boot with 2 crutches, It's ok to do 1 crutch, even not completely healed. Please advise..thank you
Thank you so much for the video.mine is now 8 weak non surgery case ,i had fractured my fibula and was put on cast for 1 month and then removed the cast eas put crape bandage for another 1 month .the doctor asked me not bear any weight for a month now its been 9 weaks and iam still not getting confidence to walk without crutches,am afraid that if i bear weight than i might injure my bone again but after seeing your video i have decided to take an x ray and then start walking.please let me know should i wear the air boot as i haven't worn any boot yet
Hey!! Love your video. I have a fibula fracture and im only 18, doctor said healing time is 4-6 weeks and im in the 5th week now. My appointment is on the 19th which is gonna be 6 1/2 weeks. I didnt get surgery but 3 days after the fracture it just stopped hurting and i didnt take any pain killers at all. I actually put full weight on it the 2nd week and it didnt hurt at all i even walked on it… Was your case similar to mine? Worst/better? Also, how long did it take before you were able to drive? (If you drive..🙂) thank you!
Hi! It was similar but I was totally non weight bearing for 6 weeks. Then I started the recovery as shown in the video. And I was driving 8 weeks after the fracture!
Oh wow, that’s awesome, 2 weeks weight… just amazing. I’m thinking so hard to try and put weight on mines this upcoming Thursday it will be 3 weeks. Did you have a cast or boot? If so how long did you wear either? 18 days with non dislocated fibula ankle fracture wondering can I ride a stationary bike with non weight bearing? I’m in a boot (I had a splint from ER on day 7, but now in a United Ortho AIR Cam Boot, self paced , no doctor). 44 years old, healthy.
@@justmommyandbabygirl well, what you see in the video is what I did in the 2 weeks after cast/boot removal, which I wore for 6 weeks. So the complete recovery took 8 weeks. I rode a bike and drove at the end, around the 8 week mark since the fracture
@@JudTaGar Update: so i went for my appointment on the 19th and i got my boot, Doctor said “partial weight bearing for 2 week” so what i ended up doing is not listening to the doctor. Started driving the same day getting in the car to drive without the boot but then when i got out i put the boot on to walk. I put full weight on my leg using the boot the first day i got it. In 5 days i was able to take my boot off, it was really weird but i was limping a lot. I couldnt walk without the boot that far but when i got to day 9 i stopped wearing the boot. Day 11 i had some pain but today (day 12) im all good, no pain at all a little bit of limping still but i can say i can go back to work (construction) in 5-6 days. In my opinion, dont be scared to do things, i was scared to start walking again but i just pushed myself, as soon as that bone heals and u see the xray results, go out there and start building the muscles like me. I weight 300 pounds but i still went and trained my muscles. Thanks so much for this video @JuTaGar this really helped me!!
Same here. I'm 19. Got distal fibula fracture 3 days ago. No surgery. It doesn't hurt while walking with the cast. Doctor is saying to keep cast for 6 weeks. Did you do cycling or walking with the cast on? I'm a student and it's more painful to stay away from day-to-day things than the injury itself
Not really, it was more of a strange feeling rather than pain. Like 'pins and needles' when the foot touched the ground after so long. Then some days I had some mild pain in the ligaments when trying to walk, but not the heel in my case
Interesting however when my cast was removed the orthopedics surgeon said I didn't need a boot. Doing much the same as you with the heel to toe walking and am at day 3
@@JudTaGar very strange first full day, felt as if my cast was still on! Physio gave me more confidence but still painful to walk with sticks but swelling going down slightly. Glad to see your recovery

@@JudTaGarin my case it is exactly 8 weeks today. The doctor said that i can take my boots off and try to walk gradualy. But i affraid to try thinking that i will deform again. I tried to put my full body weight 3times and it hurts like some sharp pins going upward. Does the pain the same as you? And is it safe to walk gently?
@@RandomPaul.Ph02 yes it is safe if the doctors say so. It's scary but you'll be fine. I remember the pins-and-needles feeling as well, just increase weight bearing gradually!
I am on nearly 6 weeks since I broke my right leg and on disability. Have distal fibula fracture, not too severe. I have my 2nd xray this week to see how my break is doing. Barely putting my foot down with not too much pressure on it.
I started partial weight bearing ar week 6 and could walk within around 2 weeks later, if I remember well... But wait until your doctor tells you to do so!
