I fell on my foot and twisted my ankle 2-1/2 years ago. I still limp and sometimes still use a cane. I went to two podiatrists before giving up on them and went to an Orthopedic Specialist in Knoxville. She has me moving on the right track but said it will be slow and I might always limp. Because of the two quack podiatrists, the tendons that were damaged healed but healed too tight. I have nerve damage from the tightness that should get better with physical therapy according to the nerve conduction test she ordered. I also developed some arthritis.

I might always limp, especially if the atrophied leg doesn’t get stronger. Joe’s a lot older than me and age makes healing slower.

Prayers up that your leg will indeed get stronger. Very glad that you now have a doctor who knows which end is up! Please be sure & give updates on your progress from time to time.

The right PT makes all the difference IMHO.

I am testament to that, having had some serious back issues in the recent past that were dealt with through some more hands-on therapy along with the right stretches and strengthening exercises. It is a long road, but if you do your “homework” and keep at it, it does get better.
