It's normal for an arthoscopy on a 'cold joint' with out drilling of the articular surface to allow same day weight bearing. Considering the extent of damage it's doing pretty well. <br /><br />Unfortunately the data supporting that type of electromagnetic treatment is quite poor.

I've had this surgery before and I was fully recovered in 2 weeks. <br /><br />Are you using a blood flow stimulation kit? That was my main tool, my doctor recommended I get one for my recovery.<br /><br />They are great products, definitely worth it, it'll speed up your recovery and help stop any future injuries. <br /><br />http://www.kingbrand.com/Ankle_Injury_Treatment.php?REF=Boris1011<br /><br />That's the website I purchased my unit, I hope it helps. <br /><br />Good luck Dave!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-78249635415794417482012-12-04T18:07:39.047+00:002012-12-04T18:07:39.047+00:00Good luck with the ankle Dave.

Now at the old age of 66 no issues rock climbing but just the descent is "troublesome". Just noticed you had "The Bat" DVD and just ordered for an XMAS present. This brought memories of 1968 when I was there with Rab Carrington, Ian Nicholson, Ian Fulton and myself. Rab was as the same school as myself in Rutherglen and we met Ian Nicholson at Dumbarton Rock one evening; we teamed up after that. Rab C and Ian N did the Bat while Fulton and I were on Centurian, Sassanach the Bull Roar; the Bat was too much for me. Look forward to receiving the video here in North Carolina. Hope you recover soon and be fit; you were well covered in the US Climbing Mags with an analysis of the incident.<br /><br />Harry NicolScottishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377187430283873414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-25618464255279441982012-12-01T22:08:23.335+00:002012-12-01T22:08:23.335+00:00After I broke my talus and had spent time in a har...After I broke my talus and had spent time in a hard cast and a soft cast using crutches, the first few times I tried weightbearing I would get weird pains, pops, and cracks in other parts of my foot that had been originally been unaffected. At first I thought something was wrong, or maybe I hadn't waited long enough, but after a few days it seemed to just stretch my foot out and everything was fine. Hopefully it is the same for you!<br /><br />DuncanTDVHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253948061254263170noreply@blogger.com
