When I asked about activity he said not to wear the ortho boot inside the house because it restricted movement too much and the foot/ankle needed to move for the ligaments and tendons to heal properly. I asked about riding the bike and he said the stationary bike would be best and they they actually recommend low intensity riding to work the damaged areas and promote healing. He made sure to tell me not to do anything that causes pain. I asked about the real bike and he kind of looked at me for a minute and said that when the foot feels strong enough, that it would be OK as long as there was not chance of me crashing and injuring the foot. Since I ride off-road in the mountains it will be a while on that. He made sure I knew that I needed to use the foot but don’t fall again. That’s why he wants me to wear the ortho boot outside on uneven ground for a long time. I’m on a farm and we don’t have manicured lawns. :-)
Yeah me too, farm girl.
It’s so difficult to wait years to heal.
I still can’t bend my pointer finger all the way to my palm.
But the swollen hand is better, can see the bones again.
Cellular level damage like mine just had to heal on its own.
I get stiffness if I use my chainsaw too much in one day.
Or any other lifting activity with that hand.
Sorry you’re injured.
May God Bless you with total recovery.
