Ive recently broken my ankle (well 5 weeks ago actually) and doctor has said for me to start rehabilitation firstly by using partial weight bearing which I did and then to start full weight bearing (which was 2 days ago)
Im struggling!!
When I walk without my crutches I simply cant. I kind of hop out of each step from my injured leg.
My birthday is coming up on over a week and I want to be able to walk for it as I want to go out but I just cant seem to master it.
Has anyone got any tips?? Im currently using the towel wrap where i pull on the bottom of my ankle with a towel but it doesnt seem to be helping.
Also as im laid in bed just about all day and unable to go to the gym anymore do you have any suggestions for effective upper body strengthening. I have about 60kg in dumbells n barbells but when I use the bench press at the gym I can do 70kg and also can curl 80kg so I dont have enough. Do you have any suggestions on that aswell??
The main problem though is the weight barring. I would very much appreciate any help I can get on how to apply my full weight onto to my ankle
Thanks
