Hey Kevin. How is your ankle doing? I have to admit even now every time I walk I'm scared that I might trip and fall and hurt my ankle all over again. Take care of yourself.
wow, I feel super strong now, I have two plates and some screws in my ankle, my doctor after 5 weeks of my operation, he took me off my boots and sent me to walk without limping, without holding on to anything, like something magical , I did not receive any therapy, I really had almost no pain, but, I totally took care to have a healthy meal and lots of water, maybe that is
Thank you so much for this. It is very helpful to me while I am recovering from a broken ankle. The way she moderates what she is feeling and thinking provides a sense of identification and source of encouragement!
Charlotte Thank you so much for watching our videos. I'm glad they are helping you to be better prepared for your journey to recovery. I know everyone is different but this is just one perspective on what could happen.
I had surgery 27th May 2020 and just beginning to put a little weight down. Weird and scary but hope day by day the pain will subside. I want to walk.... Properly!
@michelleongoro5495 Thank you Michelle, I am fully recovered now. I able to walk pain free. It's been 5 years since I had the surgery. How are you doing?
Thank you for the video. I am on day 3 of weight bearing after 10 weeks of non weight bearing. I know and feel your pain. I am hoping it gets easier. I can't but full weight yet I am able to about 50%.
Felicia Coyer. Don’t worry it will get better. Keep trying. You’ll be walking soon. I still have pain if I’m walking long distance but definitely a lot bette than before. Don’t give up
I am at 8 weeks after surgery. I have 2 screws in my ankle. My doctor says to start putting weight on it now. I'm so scared to put all my weight on it.and it still hurts so bad. Stay strong because your helping me more then you think.
hey James we are so glad that our videos are helping you get through this time. I hope you are starting to do better with putting more weight on your ankle. Take your time. It's going to take some time. Im now 1 year ad 4 months and I'm finally starting to feel less pain. When you're able ask your doctor if he would recommend a physio therapist. Mine helped me alot in my recovery.
@@KrisKev08 I started to go to physical therapy about 2 weeks ago and now I'm going three days a week and I can definitely feel the difference. I am putting more weight on it and the pain is definitely less then what it was . Cant wait to get off these crutches.
@@jamestaylor8635 yes I started going to physical therapy twice a week. Then once my ankle started getting stronger I started seeing him once a week. It really helped me get through the pain.
5kFam I had my stitches taken out on the 20th of November. I can walk as tolerated with a walker with my CAM boot, and can go back to work on December 2nd only because I have a sit down job. Then I go to the Orthopedic doctor on the 18th of December. I am so scared to go back to work and pray all goes well. I put some of my recovery on my channel as well. Thank you for your kind words. God bless Tammy❤️
I had surgery Monday just gone.. Two breaks and dislocation in my right ankle.. So painful.. My legs feel like jelly..even getting to the toilet is a major chore..
@@KrisKev08 I feel terrible to be honest.. Feeling sorry for myself.. My husband died last Xmas.. So it's super hard with out him here.. My daughter helps but I feel so useless just laying here.. Im gonna try and get out my tomorrow my wheelchair came two days ago.. Im scared to go down the stairs.. But I have to deal with it and I know it will pass.. Thanks for asking xx
@@hayleydryden3137 We're so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. I can't imagine what you're going through then when your husband died and now you have to deal with ankle fusion. When you go down the stairs try to go down on your butt. I did that before when I could not put weight on my foot. We will pray for you. I know God will get you through this.because He has done it in my life. Keep moving forward. Don't give up
@@KrisKev08 thankyou for the prayers.. I asked God last night to help me.. I made it downstairs and into my wheel chair.. I did it.. It's a Major move for me as I was so scared after slipping in the bathroom again a few days back.. Thankyou once again.. Blessing to you all x
I just got taken off of bed rest from an internally severed foot/ankle. It's been two months. I have a plate 8 screws and had 14 stitches. It is very painful and frustrating. And they want me to do it without any help from crutches. I forgot how to walk.
Man I'm so scare of walking doctor told me I can put weight on my ankle now after 5 weeks . I recommend to drink a couple of cold ones before you start .lol
Hi - thanks for the video. how is the range of motion after the surgery? My friend is considering the same surgery but is concerned about the ability to dance afterwards. Any advice?
@Alex Xenakis -- Hello 🤗. You're very welcome. Thanks for watching our video. It depends on what kind of fusion your friend will have. I had a TTC Fusion so the ROM I can get to my foot/ankle is up and down according to my surgeon. As for now, I can't move it all yet because I'm still in the early stage of healing. My surgeon adviced me to keep practicing my foot to go up and down. I think it's best to ask your friends surgeon what his/her limitations will be because there are different types of Ankle Fusion.
@LovingMy4Luvs , How are you keeping? That's great that you can start putting weight on it. Just take it easy and please don't over do it. Take your time..Is your ankle fused already? Every surgeon is different eh? Mine, He waited to see the results of my CT scan to see if my ankle is fused together. then he let me start putting weight on it. I was 8 weeks bed rest, I only move if I have to go to the washroom and my appointment with him. I'm glad I listened because now my bones are already fused although that time it feels like forever stuck in the bedroom. Lol
Thank you for posting this. I go to the doctor tomorrow to see if I am released for weight bearing. Did he tell you to do % of weight first? I haven't put weight on it in 7 weeks , but when sitting on the toilet I place it on the floor and i can feel pain like pins and needles. But way worse. After watching your wrist pain with your Walker I am tempered to reverse my knee scooter. Place good leg on the scooter bad on the floor. 🤔
suedefringe how is your ankle? My doctor just told me to start walking. There is no reason for me not to be walking now cause my ankle was already fused. I guess he has no idea the amount of pain that comes with an ankle fusion haha. How is the knee scooter helping? I hope we are able to put more weight on it now.
@iam2273, Hello, thanks for you comment. I felt that the boot caused me more pain before. I was Keeping the boot off during night time so my foot breathe. But it's been 5 years already those pains I've felt before was just a memory now. Hang in there, your time will come. We will pray for you. I am now pain free from walking. Please keep us posted with your journey
Good job.. just had ankle surgery 3 weeks ago..not gonna lie, I'm scared to death to start this..thanks for sharing.

Thank you! You are an inspiration! I broke my ankle in July and understood when you were saying “I’m scared.”
You will get there it's hard I remember doing this in January 2023,it's painful at first but in the long run you have to start.

Thank you for posting your progress. Had my surgery Dec 3rd 2019 and will be able to finally put weight on it Jan 28th. I'm scared of the pain.
