I watched your video about 10 times and it gives me so much hope. I got my walking boot 3 days after surgery. I do take it of daily for an hour to move my ancle. In 12 days they I will have another small surgery and then I can finally Start walking without the boot 🥰
Thank you for sharing your recovery 🙏🏼
The most helpful video for those of us with broken ankles! It’s now end of April and I broke my ankle in early March. I’m out of the cast and starting to do exercises and take tiny steps with crutches and boot. The pain is unreal and the emotional, mental part of having to pause so many aspects of my life has been hard. Such a long journey. Sigh. But could be worse and I’ve been touched by how my loved ones have rallied to help me.
The pain on first step is unreal. Video gives hope that the journey is doable
The good experience for sharing. I'm an vietnamese old man, I broke my ankle and tybia fracture, after I watched your video give me a big hope to back in the normal life. This is a critical time of life. 6 months for total to fully recovery take for a long time, but you had fun in viet nam anyway.
🤣🤣the walk you make at 3:20 minutes is out of this world...thanks for the upload bra it means a lot to us who just broke their legs...from South Africa***
I had an ankle fusion on June 6th. Today it's been 6 weeks post-op. I go for my second post-surgery meeting with my surgeon on July 22nd. They will do their second post-surgery x-rays at that time. My bones were fusing great on the first post-op x-rays back on June 22nd. so I'm expecting my Dr will tell me that I can start bearing a bit of weight. I'm actually kind of scared because in an "ankle fusion" there is always the chance if your bones have not completely fused and that the fusion will break. In that event, I'd be back to the beginning of the 10-week healing process. I don't think I could do it. The limited movement and exercise have been tortured both physically and mentally. My foot is still slightly sore, slightly swollen and purple. At least I see your ankle is also still purple at your weight-bearing stage. This is comforting to me. Thank you for this and your video.
This is probably one of the best progression video's ever
You're inspiring, thanks for sharing your story.
My respect for you, u re a warrior!!
Bless. I been attacked, ended with dislocated ankle and some upper breakage. I have screws removed week ago. Still no weight bearing till stichess out in few days then rehab. Was long time, alone on my own. What a life lesson. Cant wait to walk.
Wishing for you a full recovery, you'll get there. ❤️
Hi. Was your "upper breakage" into the leg? Im asking because I was told yesterday my fracture also has a dislocation and I feel pain up into my leg but my ortho was dismissive of my pain so I'm seeking a 2nd opinion as soon as my pcp gives me a new referral. Hope your recovery went well. Also, they are recommending surgery and told me the screws don't come out. Was it your decision to have them removed or protocol where you are? I'm in NYC. Hope u see this. Thnx
Hey, i got attacked 2 weeks ago aswell. It makes me angry, but my main goal is to get back stronger than ever before, so the focus is on myself. I have my surgery in 2 days. How are you now? Mentally and physically?
this was so inspirational since I can't wait to remove my cast and start walking again I've become concerned about my leg and how hard it will be when I start walking but I realised it only about time thanks a lot tho
for people who are afraid of practising to walk slowly my advice is walk side to side while leaving your back on the wall let the wall be your cushion if you plan to fall thats my way of doing it and if you think you can walk straight after the practice on stepping then you can move on to the next one by moving forward the important thing is experience, experience on how you step with your foot when you walk side to side while your back is facing the wall thats all my advice for those who have ankle injury since thats what i do right now as i have fracture on both my bones on tibia and fibula without surgery and now it isnt much hurt as i do step it on land unlike back then where my foot freezes and i can only move my fingers its been over 3 weeks now i hope it helps
thank you! i'll try this :)
Do you walk side by side with crutches?
Another 3 weeks u can walk iam also side bone n ankle injured if there is no swelling
thats amazing, you were able to do the circle ankle exercises on day 1 🫣 currently day 5 after my cast removal. this def gives me motivation!
So happy to see you can walk bro❤️❤️❤️
Great inspirational video.
Thank you for teaching me how to walk faster.
Unreal man, great seeing the progress you've made! Who knows, could see ya in the Dublin marathon next year 🏃🏋️
More like running a muck ahah
thank you for this! Just got my cast removed today, not realizing I wouldn’t able to walk 😭 and my physical therapy doesn’t start for a few days. This helps a lot!
Hello bro
😭please let me know ..how long did it take for you to walk😭3weeks after my cast removal amd cant ealk
Het how's your ankle @@sprinklesofmellissa4308
Broke my tibia, fibula and ankle and dislocated the ankle as well. Had it popped back into place TWICE then had surgery. I have 9 screws and a plate. I am 8 weeks post op, no cast just a walking boot. Just now allowed to start applying pressure as I can tolerate with the boot. This is so exciting to see!! Gives me hope
I had the same thing same a plate and 8 screws I’m off the cast it’s been 3 days my ankle is so stiff and hurts I just want to walk normal again.
@@sanchez9089 i too had same problem.. unable to walk ... 1.5 month before op done... taken rest till yesterday... but unable to walk without support... pls let me know your condition here ..
March 13th I was hit on my motorcycle open fractured tib/fib 2 fractures on my foot. Had the ex fixed brace took it off after my surgery which was April 3. I was given the boot but it weighs too much and makes my foot swollen faster. I prefer to walk with my tennis shoes and crutches over the boot. I didn’t think it would take this long to learn how to walk all over.
@@fame45stunnaz I hated the boot !!! I too feel better walking with tennis shoes and crutches. Approximately 3 weeks ago I began walking with no crutches, I have a limp but it is getting better. Still very discolored and swollen still painful but getting much better. It’s a very long painful exhausting thing to go through but it will eventually get better! Sending prayers for your recovery!😌
@@sanchez9089 you poor thing 😞!! Right after surgery was the worst for about 3-4 weeks. I just now am able to walk, and it’s not normal there is a limp I still have swelling pain and discoloration however it is much better. It’s a long painful recovery but you got this and it will get better I promise! Sending you hugs and prayers 😌
Fair play man, love it!!
Thanks Aisling , you legend!
Yah motivation clip for me thanks bro.
Praise God you're okay.
Great video thanks for sharing. Im 7 weeks post op tomorrow im terrified to try 50% weight baring
This motivated me. Recently involved in an accident, got some tips from your video . Hopefully in no time I'll be able to walk. Thank you
If you put the work in you’ll be on ur feet in no time ! If you need any advice. Let me know . Best wishes on ur recovery !
@ayahmimie i know exactly how your feeling and what your going thru its gonna take time and patience but youll get there im in the process rn just got my cast off 3 days ago
@@christophercornejo27 I have started walking 6 days ago, but can't walk without support
What next?
Sameeee! Hope you are doing better!
This happend to me too. I took my boot of 3 weeks ago. My parents tell me I walk badly and I can't walk corectly. This video motivated me and I realized I am not the only one that can't walk after they take it off
Can u tell me when u start walking on your leg how many days you take it . Thank you
I noticed you started walking on it without the boot with a big limp. Did they recommend that? I've tried to do that but it's hurting my knee and hip without the full dorsiflexion yet.
Fell down on steps on 30th Oct 2020, thought it was a sprain but now after 3months went for MRI and came to know it is partial tear of ligaments at left ankle, even now doctors recommending me to walk. I am tired my friend, now decided to take full rest for coming 2 months to completely heal the partially teared ligaments by immobilizing my ankle. Is I am doing right?? Pls do suggest my friend 🙏
Hi! How are you now? How lot of time you needed to 100% recovery? Can you running, sprinting, etc? Your range of move is back like before accident?
I have an accident 4 and half months ago, i broke bone in my foot in 5 place. I walking without medical crutches some kilometres a day and i feel pain i can't running a lot, I tried run and I can't run 50m.
How do You think, it's can be healed? How it's in your case after 4 months?
I took my moonboot off Day 3 and put a shoe on and started weight bearing . I feel like it’s been better than the restriction of the boot
I know it gets better but today it seems like the end of the world 😂😂
Hope you are doing better ❤️🙂
I got my ankle twisted 20 days back got a grade 3 tear till now it has swelling nd pain i can walk very consciously but not properly i get frustrated in these 20 days i understand hw much pain u felt it was really a very tough time hope i will fine soon too 🙂
Hello how long did ankle stop being stiff after you start exercise?
Recently had my fibula bone surgery and the surgeon has done bone grafting also in order to make my fibula bone in it’s original position..I had plate and screws also... it’s been 5 weeks now to my surgery.... it’s very difficult for me to bear the weight.... what do you think how long it take me to walk again... thank you
Is it normal for your ankle to hurt after the surgery while you're learning how to walk? I've been in a cast for about 4 months and my doctor told me to start learning how to walk. He didn't even give me a walking boot. I've been on crutches for half a year now and my ankle still hurts from time to time.
Good day hope you notice this comment. Recently i involved with bike accident and my ankle was broken and the doctor says its need to have a cast, after many weeks my cast removed and now my foot is 2days no cast, it’s okay to have a shower with my foot? Or base in your experience did you wash your foot? After taking the cast on it? Thankyou so much. ❤️
Ohh damn... That l pain you got when you walked on first day.. 😐
Just started my day one today... And my foot is hurting like hell
How do you move from 2 crutches to one? I can't figure it out.
Hi, is it safe to walk without crutches when ankle dorsiflexion is no longer stiff? I tried to walk with one crutch despite of stiff ankle. Still limping with one crutch so I use 2 crutches again to correct gait while waiting for stiffness to go away. Is my understanding correct?
Omg the way u did it the first clip omg made me scream I’m nervous I get mine off soon
Me too.
Yo man, I broke both my ankles in a trampoline accident. I truly admire your optimism, it gives me hope g
Sir can I know after cut plaster how long you try to walk and get best result
Stay strong, you will do great! I think nutrition is important, make sure to get that if you can (just like Nighia). Apart from getting it in food you might want calcium/vitamin D supplement. I am getting surgery this week on right ankle. Sending you healing vibes. ❤️
I have a question,I really do hope you answer.How long should it take someone to go back to the gym??
I broke my leg last year December, the doctor asked me to start walking with cane this month, but it's really painful, is it normal to hurt?, I've been using walker
That Conor walk ❤️❤️❤️
My experience: i had to get a procedure done and stayed in 2 casts for a total of 2 months, and a walking boot for another 2, i start using 2 c4utches and not even 2 minutes later i start to use 1, then in about 3 or 4 minutes i got to walk normally again
Cool.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve had the exact injury 6 weeks ago. Just got the cast off last week. I’m having such strange tightness around my foot just under my toes like there’s a tight rubber band around my foot. I can’t stretch my toes; it’s very uncomfortable!
Same , I have the same issue 😞
Now what to do from experience?
Can you please share me the exercise sheet you have?
I also had a broken ankle last year and my leg is still swelling but with no pain and not able to walk freely
Thank you In advance
Hy dearest h0w long did it take for you to fully recover and able to walk normally ??????
Does physiotherapy hurt and also how much time did it take for you to walk completely??
Hy dearest .. how long did it take you to get normal and walk normal again ?
i got a leg fracture at 15 august and went thru a surgey and recently my cast was removed.....i am searching how do i start walking
Did you use your walking boot for everyday?
Is it possible to run... as before normal days .....?
same my situation now bro. i broke my leg
fibula fracture insha allah im going recovery step by step
I watch your video and i can't imagine myself after my cast will remove. I have a broken bone on my 5th metatarsal. It was an accident due to my playful huskies😅. So thanks to your video it's kind of motivating me😊 just need patience.
I just got that diagnosis yesterday too. How long did it take you to heal?
@@oomiesayshow much time it will take to run again? How r you now
Right now im under recovery pth from a distal fibula fracture..and have a lot of stiffness to move my feet and also feeling stiffness and pain on unckles after walking for a while😟
Hey where you purchase your boot I am also same stage
I know this was a while ago for you but I have a question. I had a trimalleolar fracture with dislocation in May of this yr. I'm up and walking in my street shoes after 12 weeks of braces, casts and aircast but have a hard time walking just right. Did this happen with you. Like did you forget how to walk? Now, because I'm not walking right I've put a strain on my inner knee on the bad leg and am back to using 1 crutch to take the pressure off the knee and to help me walk right. I think my issue is I haven't been extendidng my knee right because of my aircast teaching me bad habits for the last 6 weeks and plus fearfulness of hurting the ankle. The brain plays bad games on us. I know I need to trust the hardware. My PT didn't have me up and walking with crutches instead just said, start walking without your boot. That's when the knee pain set in. 🙄
Iv got a pilon fracture with dislocation got external fixation on been like this for 15 weeks surgeon said he will arrange for frame to come off now but I can’t put a lot of weight on it yet god knows how I’m going to walk
You should check this out. ua-cam.com/video/NrEJiLp3wkM/v-deo.html&lc=UgwxJ8T0biaQOrY6A7R4AaABAg.9ZNYH3KcIYu9dFclLcCbli
I see your first day of walking was on jan 16th, I am going to get my cast removed on jan 16th (coming) so my first day of walking would probably be same as yours. Hopefully I would be able to walk just like you did at 3:20
I hope to walk soon, i miss to walked💔
Its so cool how u recoverd so quickly,It's been 3 months now I broke my tibia bone still learning to walk I can walk with one crutch and I walk funny without any crutches,it hurt only when I step on it with full weight.
Wow my tibia is broken too and I’m getting my cast off soon 🙁
@@briannacollado639 surgery?
I'm 74 and I recently had an ankle fusion operation, it's been 6 weeks now with the cast coming off after 4 weeks. I still cannot walk but a few (15) steps with some pain. You don't mention the lead weight of the boot, I'm sure mine's made from concrete. It does look like it'll be a good 6 months before I'm walking again, and I used to walk miles every day, and never really valued it.I won't make that mistake again.
I'm 60 and the air cast I was put in felt like it was made of concrete. I did get used to it thought. Hope your feeling better.
Will I get any problem in 21 days plaster?
So are u able to run now and is ur life is normal like before no issue
I broke my ankle and had a plate and 10 pens in it and dislocated it and tore my deltoid. It had been 6 weeks and I’m in a walking boot but all I can really do is just stand up
Oh god that sound so bad !! But You can stand up which is really good and it’s ur first step in the right direction ! Try using the crutches to help you take your first steoep if you can’t put pressure on it It’s okay , here a little trick I did that helped me .. while sitting down , put a weight scale under your bad foot and slowly put pressure on it .once you get the hang of it . Try it Standing up .. this method will help you build that ankle strength so you can take ur first steps ! Remember baby steps
I was put in a walking boot after a month when my cast off,was in a boot for 4weeks starting weight bearing before my first check with the doctor in January 2023
Thank you
Currently here cause i got my cast removed on Monday and need to learn how to take steps again
I broke my ankle to man it’s fucked Got the surgery done Im off the walking boot in 3 days let’s see how I start to walk again
What was walking in yhe pool lile?
Bro can you run now??
I am really concerned about it because I am on my 3rd month and I love playing football allot and can’t give up on it
Thanks
Had a broken fibula, fractured tibia and ankle. I’m weaning off the boot after 5 months. Never had a cast btw. I can walk with my crutches but when I try to do it on my own I can’t . I’m scared 😟
Did you go thru surgery?
@@NghiaTran-sr1oe hi . No surgery was needed . It was a clean break on the fibula and the other two were hairline fractures. My ligaments and tendons were still in tact. I’ve been walking with my crutches but now I’m limping. I hope that’s normal until I regain my strength. I don’t wish this on anyone.
Thx
Did you have muscle atrophy? I'm on my 3rd week and my injured foot is smaller than the other
Yes, that happend to me too
How many days did you have plaster? And were you able to walk immediately after the plaster was removed?
Trimalleolar fracture with dislocation. Each of my bones were shattered into small pieces at the fracture points. 2 plates and 12 screws. I had 6 weeks bedrest but I healed! Ecstatic to move into a boot for 2 months. However putting weight through my foot and trying to walk is hard. Not only do you have a heavy cumbersome boot but I find my foot very tender with a 'bruised' feeling. Walking is limited atm (5 days into boot) and I have to rely on a wheelchair a lot of the time due to pain. I find doing a task ( making a cup of tea, washing up) encourages me to stay on my foot longer. My Gp has told me not to push it and take my time but like all of us that have been in a cast for weeks the desire to get up and walk is strong!
Good luck with your recovery and take it easy.
is it ok to follow the steps you make even though the foot is still swollen and stiff?
You need to follow your PT advice. I'm 4 months out and my foot and ankle swells anytime I've walked. It's something you will need to grow used to for awhile. Ice and elevation should be your friend.
@@cougmom50 ok..thank you,it's getting better now..but yes,sometimes it still swells and a little stiff..im just wondering for how long i can walk normally again
I removed my cast 6 days ago, but still can't walk without support.
What will be the next walking process?
Baby steps !
@@NghiaTran-sr1oe for sure!!
My ankle bone hurts while walking it's been almost 2 weeks my cast removed and I still can't walk properly😔😔😔😔
walking properly will take time ! its sore at first because the ankle hasn't gone thru full range of motion. id recommend a getting walking boot it should aid you with your recovery
Keep on trying ....i m on the same boat ...but still everyday i try ..
@@swatigupta6534 I'm 3 weeks out of my walking boot and I'm still not walking right. So much so I've cause pain to my knee on my bad leg. Ug! I'm using 1 crutch to help with my walking and my knee pain.
Where ankle get damage
I had an accident while running my leg got pinned by a motorcycle behind me... it happened so fast, I realized I couldn’t put the foot on the ground cos it had completely twisted n my tibia protruding from the skin....X-ray said I fractured my distal fibula n dislocated my tibia... so it’s been 5 months now, I don’t feel pains from the fibula anymore but my tibia still looks like it’s protruding a bit, it doesn’t hurt much tho but I’ve been trying to walk with it... with crutches it seems very easy but without it’s almost impossible n I limp so much
I mean I can stand now but pains when I try dorsiflexing ....is this normal
It hurts to rotate my feet
pls did you do surgery
pls did you do surgery
Hope you are doing great ❤️
Day 1 after cast removal. I think i forgot how to walk lol. And ankle is extremely stiff.
Learning how to walk again is not easy. Today is my second day out of my cast, I cannot stand up on my own, so I have my boot on and I use my Walker. I go to PT next week and I just hope something happens because my doctor wants me walking without my Walker within the next two weeks and my boot has to come off in three.. I had Foot and Ankle surgery about 6 weeks ago but I have to take it one day at a time and not overdo it
My foot isn't in a Neutral Position due to my cast being on. They said Physical Therapy should help it become neutral again.
"nEveR aGaiN,NevEr AgaIn!!"🤕
Heep plaster. Open already 13 days
When I Will walk please advice me
I just removed my cast and I feel like a baby I’m learning how to walk all over again
Same girl sameeeeee
The doctor asked me to try start walking today and i don't know how to trust my leg again.
Baby steps ! use your crutches to help you
Exactly what I’m going through, removed my cast yesterday
@@arnoldmarule5101 hope it's better for you now , i am comfortable walking on 2 legs but with a walker
@@NghiaTran-sr1oe the doctor didn't give me crutches but i have a walker
I'm the same way I just try to use my crutches when I walk
That means I can't run again 😢😢😢😢??!or what
You can run again !! just takes time. use the couch to 5k app to help you
