Yup. It’s slow. It’s excruciating.

After my accident I couldn't walk normally for 2 weeks , after 4 weeks I started walk without walking stick . Now after 7 week I feel nearly OK

As an update to my 3 month old comment, the surrounding muscles took several months to recovery from the tourniquet application, despite me being in the gym 6 days per week. I also developed prepetella bursitis that required another visit to the surgeon. I am finally able to start running again, although only shortish efforts at this stage. I am now quite hopeful that I will be able to return to running again, which was definitely not the outlook I had before the operation.

@@htmonaro1969 I was told running is bad for the knees especially at your (my age). I know it's hard to give up a sport when you love it.

I was not prepared at all for how painful it would be - all dr's said would be so quick and minimal pain: total BS. The lady before me I heard screaming from the waiting room but didn't realise why...never again. PS I didn't scream but swore terribly

Me too last week

@@eagle_princess you’ll feel stronger by the 6 month. Try BPC-157 peptide. I seemed to heal faster. Naturally occurring amino acid

how old are you?

57

@@laurelledubois it’s been a year now. Pretty much 100% now. Still can get sore

Whats the update?

Geezuz, how did that happen?

Ouch Communited fracture - I heard that word is a smash of multiple peices of breaks in a large bone - My docs says it is I have : Comminuted minimally displaced fracture of the calcaneum extending from the tuberosity posteriorly to the subtalar articulation. Intra-articular minimally displaced fracture through the base of the little toe metatarsal. In accordance with the 5th metatarsal fracture. Not sure how revoery is but all painful and feels loose when moving off the ground and the heel feels awful when trying to apply pressure - how you doing now?

Just ask yourself what 10 yrs from now will bring if it’s a full thickness tear! My dad said that same thing and now he can’t use that arm much now

Nope

Did it hurt?

@@trickshotstudio3960 Not gonna lie, it hurt like 2x worse than a regular shot! But the weird numbness that came afterwards (due to the injected medication) lasted well over half a day & was even worse.. But the relief you get & swelling reduction is priceless!

@@bravokilo1972 I’m experiencing thumb pain, limited flexibility and this weird snapping-like thing.

@@bravokilo1972 did you use cold spray or numbing cream.

@@trickshotstudio3960 That’s it! Press down hard on the palm side of your thumb at the joint with the fingers of your other hand and you will feel a hard knot while flexing that thumb back & forth. That’s the swollen tendon popping inside of the tendon sheath.. That’s where you’ll get the shot, on that tendon knot that’s popping because it’s swollen and is hanging up. Normally the shot stops that friction by reducing the swelling, which stops the popping.. Good luck

Hello , are you ok now? In how much time your bone healed?

That's my question, too!

@angiebell660 I had a neurologist tell me 6 months to a year. I stopped feeling mine after 5 weeks.

Really! How did you heal it?

@@nicoleyap6070 An anti inflammatory diet, juicing (don't laugh it works), compression knee band, icing and elevation, strengthen the knee by swimming or an ebike, low impact movement to build the area around the knees strength and flexibility. The ebike was the big healer as it allows movement without overloading the knee with stress. The nutrients helped beyond what I could have ever imagined, losing weight was obviously big because it reduced the PSI of the joint. It took a diligent routine of all of these things to bring my knee to full recovery with no pain today, the added bonus was being super fit at 67 when my doctor said a knee replacement was my only option! I suggest the Electra Townie go ebike with the flat foot technology. The ebike allows the rider to simply select more assistance when needed when exertion is encountered. It worked and I'm literally speechless at the results. You can always get a knee replacement but you only have two originals so I'm grateful to God because I did pray that he would help me heal my knee. He did. Anti inflammatories like Advil were used sparingly from time to time but many natural plants and foods contain these same ingredients and basically that's where the drug companies developed the chemistry for these drugs. Best of luck to you.

@@nicoleyap6070 The compression knee band allows more blood flow to the area under compression thus lower inflammation and promoted healing of the existing area, I'm not a doctor but I am a believer in due diligence in everything, do the research, read what foods are inflammatory and which foods are not! It's all on the internet, don't eat shitty food for starters right away, no junk food! When the knee starts to improve don't stop the process and revert back to your old ways. Take care to not stress the knee as you go along, no heavy lifting or stupid moves that will reinjure the meniscus. Give the knee a chance to rebuild itself, it can be done, doctors aren't always right in their diagnosis and I have found a lot of times their flat wrong. You must be dedicated to healing not just your knee but the entire you.

How did u do it to heal fast it really troubles me

@billveek9518 thank you 😊
