Too me have surgery left and right ankle not easy

Hi I have leaning disability and i done a.few.of videos glad i found ur channel. I strugle more with emotions through school and building friendship.

The needle in your leg when you where home is that the Nerve block they did feeding medicine so you don’t feel the pain as bad?

Great video. My partner snapped 2 ligaments in her ankle. Goes in for surgery this week. So your time between plaster and boot was 4 weeks? Then how long before normal duties walking etc? She is so nervous about all this. But has to be fixed. Thanks

Hey does anyone have medial instability of the foot that caused eversion....im having surgery that's supposed to correct it and I'm super nervous about it.....if you've had the surgery could u tell me about recovery

I am on my 7th sprain and tore almost fully both ligaments would you have any advice on how to approach my orthopedic surgeon about surgery? I am also very clumsy and am in my second boot in two years and am super done with boots lol

Hi I have ankle arthroscopy one month ago and now doctor took off cast and put me in boot for start walking but from last two days my foot hurts if I touch the ground. Could you please tell me how long it took to walk with any support and pain. Thanks

Hi I am suffering from ATFL injury from 9 month. Swelling, painful and bruising my RT ankle .I need surgery for fast healing of my ATFL sprain.

Does anaesthetic make you throw up? I’m terrified of that aspect of surgery

i tore my acheles tendon lenght wise and veritacal as well as a legitimate is totally MIA. another one has a 10mm tear. I'm facing surgery on my ankle soon. did they keep you in the hospital for a few days after the surgery?

you can run again?

I had my surgery last Friday morning how do I recovery

Ort

how did u injure ur ankle both times

were you able to walk after you tore your cfl?

Did you have a drain in your knee?

how did u do it? ((How do u make the injury?))

how did you get the injery?

Can anyone give me an idea of what the rehab process is like? and roughly how long a return to running/ sport took? I am due an ATFL reconstruction with a possible repair to my CFL and both Peroneal tendons. I am also going to have the base of the fibula plated/ screwed due to an avulsion fracture. All because of landing wrong when playing football (soccer) in November 2015. For anyone else due or recovering from surgery, I hope you have a successful and speedy recovery.

having surgery in August for instability after a fall a year ago left my ankle with several issues. first a fracture of the talus, ligament damage, and cartilage damage. my surgeon will be doing both an open and arthroscopic surgery. my question is, were you in a splint or a cast before your stitches came out?

I broke my ankle this Dec 1st. I had surgery the 17th. but I notice that I get this pressure around my ankle and I fell the Rap thingy all around my ankle even if I have my foot elevated I feel numbness and tingling did you ever felt this?

I broke my ankle , but I forgot what happened , supposedly its heeled it's been 6months and I still can't stop limping , it still hurts , and all of that and they told me to call them so I can have surgery if it still hurts , but I don't wanna go through that all over again because I had cast then boot too and I hated it mostly in school , maybe it's because I haven't done my stretches for a month ? Should I do them for a month and then wait and see if it still hurts to have surgery?

I have the same injury, They told me I didn't need surgery and just work hard at the physio, its been 9 months since the injury and i've been seeing a physio 3 times a week and I'm still in a moon boot and can't walk. do you think its a good idea to see a surgeon? because I really just wanna get along with my life, I'm so over this injury

I had the same thing, How did you recover? did it go back to normal any pain?

I broke my ankle 3 years ago and it still hurts they said that my ligaments are tightened up and that's why it still hurts, if I were to get surgery it would be a 50-50 chance of it being better or worse is it worth getting surgery? Did yours help? What happened with you?

How long does it take to make a full recovery?

So glad to have found this I am predicting a 4th surgery on my left unstable ankle! Did a high ankle sprain wasn't diagnosed for 18 months got a little better with physio went to start at the gym was limping a bit physio asked to look at it and he wreaked my lateral ligaments as it was swollen like a balloon the next day! Since then I have had 2 physios tape it wrong one cut off circulation the other caused my current injury which I am predicting is going to result in a 4th surgery As my ankle is as unstable as before my first surgery but twice as painful. What I had first was a brostrom - gould and screws in the syndesmosis (tib fib) Then it was screw removal and then I had to have permanent wires in when it re tore again. Then it came good and was going well till I injured my mid foot going to the beach and mentioned it to the physio who taped it a week later I couldn't walk on my foot it was so bad and still is. Every step I take my ankle gives out and I have tearing pains in the ligaments which haven't happened for awhile I am guessing cause they are gone and have had a podiatrist my current surgeon sent me to say there is no point doing what he wants cause if I have to have surgery something different will need to be done after it! So there is no point and I am going to see a proper foot and ankle person on Decemeber 16th now and am so hoping that something can be done as i have been living with ankle problems for 9 years now and have wasted most of my 20's being stuck at home cause of my damn ankle. Anyway thanks for listening and how are you going?? Did the tendon replacement work?? Am not sure but am guessing that will be what I get next since the brostrom has failed or I am certain it has anyway Look forward to your response!

The surgeon has to take out the bad part of my ligament and reattach it . And I'm only 15 . Do you know how long the surgery would take?

so my ortho told me i tore every ligament to my ankle but were currently trying to see if it will naturally heal so he gave it 30 days, its day 20 and i've seen no improvement, i still can't stand on it at all, i still can't bend it to the sides at all and i still cant move my toes, we have confirmation from 9 xrays that i didnt break anything. Can anyone give me an estimate on when i would be able to do anything with, or without surgery?? im starting to get ancy lol any knowledge or wisdom would be greatly appreciated, i've been on couch rest sleeping in the walking boot keeping it elevated and every 4 hours icing it for 20 min, all the while taking my anti inflamatories and keeping it ace rapped for compression. Again any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you lose any range of motion? I'm considering surgery but I want to be able to squat again

I have to get screws or rods or whatever they are in my ankle on Friday and I'm just super nervous about the whole surgery part like when they put you under the drug and I'm just scared about being knocked out and operated on !!!

Hey there....I am now 3 mos post op and back to work and walking without any sort of brace but it is tight as heck! Lol the only issue I am having is walking down steps and some swelling here and there which is getting better. Also it wasn't actually my Achilles tendon they worked on, but another one on the side of my calf (forgot the name). I have two nasty scars and still some numbness though, which is the trade off for having some major stability now! I'm glad I'm on the mend and thanks again for all the info!!

did it hurt after they took it of

My thoughts are this. We are in such a fast paced world it does not surprise me how many people are suffering with some type of anxiety. Being a product of the 70's, I have deffinatly seen the transition from a slow paced society to an in your face go, go , go world. Cell phones , social media, advertising amongst other things have really changed the stress level in people. Unfortunatly I don't see us ever slowing back down, so we mist learn to adapt. Just my thoughts. Thank you for the video Sabrina. I put you in my favorites and I look forward to more.

i broke my left leg 12/26/2013 at 5.00am and i had surgery at 11.30am the same day.i left the hospital the next day 12/27/2013 at 2.30pm with a cast on.i had a doctor appointment at 1/9/2014 at 2.30pm.they removed the cast and the stitches and they x ray my leg.they give me a boot and the doctor told me i can start physical therapy three times a week and i can take the boot of and take a shower.the doctor told me i can start putting weight on my toes.today 1/25/2014 i am exercising my leg with calf raises and my last appointment with my doctor is 2/20/2014 and i can go back to work

OMG I love the cast you got!

Oh...and I think I forgot to mention that I also had to have my Achilles tendon restructured (I think just loosened/lengthened) because it was so tight due to the compensation from my ankle being damaged for so long. NoW THAT I expected to send me through the roof with pain but surprisingly I had to ask them if they did that part because I felt nothing! I am so lucky.... and again I thank you for helping me get mentally b prepared!!!!

Hey there.....so I'm on day 3 technically of recovery and I am doing great!!! Immediately after and the first day of recovery were very hard for me- EXTREME pain! Initially it was outpatient surgery but I ended up having an allergic reaction to the anesthesia so I stayed over night which was a tremendous help as far as pain control. The only issue I'm having now is that the half-cast and wrapping seem sooooo heavy and I'm worried that I may damage something hopping around with the crutches or walker they gave me. I get a little sore after that but really no pain other than that. Did u have that issue....also was there any worry about how you positioned your foot for sleeping? I'm keeping it elevated no matter what but I have difficulty sleeping on my back. Thanks again!!!!!!!

Omg...thanks so much for that info. It was extremely helpful. My doctor did warn me about the pain. I don't think the QB is an option for me but he did say he would make sure I was completely numb for the first night at least. I will def let u know how it goes! Thanks again so much!!!

This is exactly what I am going to have done in less than 24 hours. Exactly how painful is the recovery?? How long did the procedure really take? They cant use my own tissue for the repair though, they have to use cadaver tissue.

How long before you could put weight back on it?

Well, the doctor told me 6 months after surgery you should be able to engage in strenuous physical activity, though at like 4 months you should start trying to build back up the lost muscle and everything. I wish you luck, let me know how things go!

I'm getting ligament repair for both sides of my left ankle. Sucks that it went unnoticed after a small hair line fracture while playing volleyball, two years ago. I suffered from constant ankle insatiability and pain. How long will it be until you can officially engage in physical activity?!

Yes, it was two ligaments on the outside that I had completely torn. If you've torn them, they'll either begin to heal within the first few weeks, or they won't heal at all, which requires surgery. I hope you had good news...keep your head up!

The walking boot was pretty nifty - I was being bad and walking on the casts as well (which you shouldn't do, of course). The black brace that I wore was an ACE support that I got at Walgreens, and under it I wore a white compression sock thing that I also got from there. I really recommend both, I wore them both simultaneously for the months before my surgery and a few weeks after I was able to remove the walking boot.

The healing process was pretty smooth. One important thing is to stay on top of it - even if you're not hurting when it comes time for your first few doses of pain killer, take them! I skipped a couple cause I was still under some pretty heavy painkiller from the surgery, and when I woke up the morning after...I was in EXCRUCIATING pain. I didn't do showers - I did baths, but with my casted foot out. I'm not sure how you would go about with 2 casts...I'd say invest in a shower seat.

This is helpful... I fell and twisted both ankles and tore ligaments in both ankles in October of last year and the doctors didnt realize I had tears until June -.- They told me I need surgery but couldnt schedule me until the end of August so this whole injury is gonna take me a year to heal from. How was your healing process pain wise? was it difficult to shower?

I hope everything goes well - mine wasn't from a break, but it was pretty cruddy. I've had a great recovery, I hope yours does okay also!
