My ankel is broken this evening.

[magdelana]

This evening i fell on the stairs and my ankel is broken three times. There are two bones with breaks. One is at the tip of one bone where it meets another and one of the others they said was a "splinter fracture", cant remember about the third.

Tomorrow i see the orthaedist and they say in the ER that i will need surgery to heal it correctly. It will be about 12 weeks they say only to have the cast off. I cant even say how long before i can squat, if ever again!

Nice that my legs are seen on the board becuase it will a very long time before they can look like that again. Maybe never.

My question that i have is for anyone who have in the past such injuries and how long was your recovery? In the leg, knee, ankel, anything like this. How long did it take before you could do big pressing moves again??

Thanks all for any help you may have.

1 1/2 - 2 months, but only if you baby it for that whole time...hmmm didn't someone say AS helps aid in recovery from injury....

and my accident was i broke my ankle in 8 places during a wrestling match in highschool, hey atleast i won the match.

I'm really sorry to hear that because injuries really suck. You might not like to hear this, but at least you broke it and didn't sprain it. Those sprains are much harder to heal and take much longer. So...if you do a lot of physical therapy and take care of it by doing exercises and stuff...you should be back in no time! You can always push yourself harder than the doc recommends, but you need to know when you need to stop.

Know that you will be in my prayers this evening...and feel free to email me if you need anything.

Maybe talk to Hannibal or Spatterson about AR band work for your ankle after the cast is off...

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I am feeling so sad and lonely now. I cannot move without so much pain and must go to the bathroom on my knees. It hurts too much to use the crutchs. I layed on the floor at the stair bottom for 2 hours because i could not move because of the pain. I cannot work anymore as my job needs a lot of moving and i cannot pay much of the money of the hospital.

A bad day.........thanks all so much for your words!

AAS will help the recover a lot! (GH too if you have it, can get it)

My good friend tore her bicep (from the insertion) and had to have the arm immobilized for quite some time. She was concerned about the arm and it affecting her symmetry (she competes as a heavy).
She used GH at a fairly low dose and deca (which she has used before successfully) to maintain muscle mass. The GH she credits with mot losing much flexability in the tendon and the Deca worked to keep the muscle loss to a bare minimum.

When the cast came off the doctor was shocked with how rapdily it had recovered. She ended up "coming out" about her using GH and he wants her to document the dosage and the dosage she uses still as her xrays and examines the arm. He said that he feels GH is a very valid rehabilitaion aid, and all that keeps the scientific community from fully embracing it is a decent body of peer evaluated research...
Mabye someday we can thank her for insurance cover GH scripts? (Oh god, pleeeeaaaassseee!)


But as for YOU! You didnt seem so upset earlier, are you keeping things from me?? Get with me and let me know whats on your mind. Youll be fine, if youre sad we can talk. It'll all work out.
I'll make some calls and arrange for a "nurse" to come in and take care of you (*wink wink*)... she'll see to all your "needs" (*double wink wink*)

Poor girly!!! So sorry to hear this. I definitly know how frustrating and discouraging it can be to be held back by an injury. Hoping and praying all goes well and that they can put you back together-- and that you'll be as good as new as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that. I broke both bones in my right leg and shattered the growth plate when I was younger.


As you are in tremendous shape - rehab will be easier than expected.


btw - Where in Ga are you. I'm outside Athens
