Brostrom Recovery - Week 4



4 weeks post-Brostrom:

  • last steri strip dropped off today in the shower (with a teensy nudge)
  • swelling - moderate
  • pain - tolerable
  • comfort level - eh, not so much.  Sleep is no good.
  • walking - s-l-o-w, cautious, but fairly "even" with NB ortho on left foot
  • follow-up with surgeon in one week to hopefully transfer to ASO
WHEW!

    Are the toenails polished yet?

    Whew! Looks like you have a way to go. It makes me hurt just to look at it; however, your Yoga energy will take over and heal it real good. I'm pulling for you.

    I had procedure 3 months ago. I was non weight bearing for 7.5 weeks and in a boot for another 2 and now use the ASO-EVO. Just went back to yoga 1.5 weeks ago. Inversion of ankle still tough in all standing poses. Saw PT yesterday and he said recovery is usually 12 to 18 months and I am way ahead of curb. I'm 58 and work my tail bone off
