Another question for Doctor TEF

[Coca Fola]

I broke my leg about 2 months back and did all the ligaments in my ankle. Had the cast off yesterday and just wanted to ask someone who's had a similar experience:

A: How long before I can start doing physical stuff again
B: Should it still be really swollen?

Thanks in advance

The swelling will go down once you get a bit of movement back in the joint. I did the inner ankle ligament 6 weeks ago and it's still a bit swollen and very bruised. It'll get there soon enough.

Cheers. How did you manage yours?

Really?

You didn't think of asking those questions when they took the cast off?

Or did you think you'd go with the wisdom of the TEF rather than the medical profession?

I think it's probably code for cock rot, hence not asking a quack.

Gloucester hospital is shit. They took the cast off and I was out within 5 mins. Doctor just looked and said it should be fine, didn't bother x-raying it and I was out like that. (And I kind of forgot to ask)

Plus I'd rather ask someone who's had a similar experience.

If you can afford it go to a proper physio who'll set up a progressive training plan for you. 2 months in plaster can result in a lot of muscle wastage which will need putting right.

I will enquire about something. Cheers.
