So much love xx
I stumbled across this video and now i know it was for a good reason. After watching this i took my very first step after 3 months. I was involved in a car accident in April. Fractured both ankles. So i thank you with all my heart to give me strength and courage to take my first step today.❤🙏🏽 I'm 30 years old and survived this horrible accident, i still want to believe there is something greater for me in my future.
Omg that is terrible. I.fractured only one and is very hard for me !! Take care and I hope you.all recovered

How are you doing now?
Same as well How are you know
Thank you sharing. I am currently trying to conquer this fear. It's crazy how something that you want so much can be so anxiety filled that it creates a panic attack when I think about it. It's incredibly scary, but seeing this video has kind of restored my hope. I started tearing up as I watched it, I'm not alone! I feel a bit validated. I have always considered myself a strong person so this crippling fear is extremely frustrating, and well, scary. I have never felt such an intense fear before.
I really didn’t think too much about that first step but watching this video is an eye opening. My ankle broke in three places two months ago I have one more month before that first step. I’m in my sixties but very active reason my ankle got broken I forget that I’m not a kid anymore. Your video is very interesting I’m glad I watched it. I visualize that once I had the green light I could just walk and start driving again. In my mind I knew it was going to hurt or be uncomfortable but not like when they aligned the ankle. Thank you so much
I am recovering from a broken ankle and surgery. I was off my feet for 12 weeks and this week I was told by my surgeon that I could walk now. I got no advice, no recommendations, no "breaking it in." I tried walking with my full weight, and stopped after a very short time as my ankle and foot were very unhappy with the process. Since then I have been researching how to transition successfully into walking again. Thank you for this video
Look up Bob & Brad ankle fracture exercises. Strengthening and regaining flexibility in the ankle and calf muscles are essential.
I broke my tibia and wasn’t expecting my ankle to ache on weight bearing. It does! So I’m doing the exercises and gained a little more flexibility after 12hrs. Good luck 🦶😊
Thank you so much. I have a strong mental block towards putting more weight on my foot. I'm scared to add weight to walk. My whole body is tense and knows this fear. There seems not to be a lot of videos or help regarding this fear other than yours. I'm going to use your tips. Thank you so much 🥰
8 months finally walking! I was so terrified since I hadn't walked in 7 months!!! Then my physical therapist told me "it's the psychological part you have to get through. But if you don't do it you won't do it!" And I keep this replaying in my head as I rehab back to walking.
Are you walking now?
Wondering what your injury was.
Thank you for this. This video made me feel far less alone and doubtful😘
For me it was different. I was so excited when I got to put weight on my foot. I was happy when I got my boot and when it came off. The only down fall is that I have to continue to strengthen my foot so it will not get stiff. The only fear I have at this time is the snow and ice. Good luck everyone❤️
These videos are great 👍. Broken talus and mentally preparing myself for PT. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I recently started therapy. Your video was inspiring.
The body let's you know naturally. I am walking, no boot after 7 week's trimalleor orif ankle surgery! It's quite stiff however when I felt the Dr. "pop" some scar tissue, it felt great.🤷🙏🌞 Oh eating well, LOTS OF VITAMIN C, VEGGIES, PROTEIN, AND PRAYERS! GOD BLESS 🙏❤️
I just got my boot off 3 days ago. I broke my ankle 7 weeks ago today. My foot and ankle is so stiff and it hurts so bad. I am doing some therapy to get the muscles moving and strong but it just really hurts. You give me hope I will progress quickly. Thank you.
This gave me some relief reading this. It’s easy to feed into a lot of the negative or less than ideal recovery stories online. Hopefully I can walk after the 6th week
What do you mean the “Doctor popped some scar tissue and it felt great.”? 😮 that sounds painful. Can’t imagine why it would feel great!
@@jamespd Did you get to walk after 6 weeks?
@@IslanderloverBKK I was able to “walk” without the boot but with the assistance of crutches. I was walking without them after 8 weeks. Back to tennis and basketball at 11 to 12 weeks
This video was right on time. I started partial weight bearing, post op achillies repair. The mental part is a challenge but after this video it gave me some more confidence. Thank you for sharing and dropping those gems.
Hvala Maja, tvoji nasveti so mi zelo pomagali!! Super! Srecno in kar tako naprej!! :-)
I got the green light to FWB after 6 weeks of partial. (first 2 weeks were toe touch, then 4 weeks of being allowed 50% but I didnt do it because I was too nervous). Surgeon today got me to take off the boot, put my normal shoe on, and take some steps with the crutches. I'm putting as much pressure as I can, but its still a slow process so he told me to practice walking and gradually get rid of the crutches... anyway, he asked if I wanted to keep the boot, I asked if I needed it and he said not really but I could use it if I got swelling.... I told him to keep the boot.
Cant rely on the boot anymore and if it was there, I'd likely use it to walk, which is not productive.
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for your help. I am struggling to get 100 percent weight and walk. Scared of to the pain also . I am taking it slowly with my walker.
This video is such a blessing. I'm currently in a boot now and am afraid to put 50% of my weight on it. I'm going to work on it and get better :)
Thank you for this! After a trimalleolar fracture...and 8 weeks post op...the physical therapist was pushing me to walk, but I was so afraid of bearing weight on it, afraid of the pain.
Hi melody , hope your doing well , can you please update me if you remeber , how long you went through the recovery , if you started putting weight on it
Hope you're doing well. I also had a trimalleor break, and dislocation, almost 4 months ago, and have recently started to practice walking without the orthopaedic boot, or crutch. It's a slog for sure, but I can do more with each day that passes. It's good to read all these stories of other people's recovery.
Thank you! The fear is real!
Ellen DeVries yes it is, I am coming upon the week of weight bearing. Very intimidating.
Hi Maya, i've almost completed my 6 weeks of being in a cast from a fractured ankle. I get my cast off tomorrow (i suspect i'll be moving to a moon boot and crutches with partial weight bearing), i would just like to thank you for making this video as it is making me feel a lot more calm knowing that people have gone through the same thing. I will definitely take in mind relaxing and visualising as well as not being afraid to walk on it after a while! Thank You very much, i love your hair by the way, it is beautiful. xx
You're so welcome, Cass, and thank you for your kind words! It feels great to know that this kind of information helps many of you.
Oh, and today was THE day of getting rid of the cast. How did it go? xx
Yes it came off yesterday (from australia so it's a day early haha), my doctor and physio said that i should keep moving it and exercising as i am young, no running or jumping for at least 6 weeks. i started slowly walking just with crutches last night, quite successful. Still making sure (especially at school) that i'm not pushing it to the point it hurts. Also, in the duration of being in the cast, i was using what's called a knee walker (similar to a scooter) rather than using crutches for comfort reasons, i'm still using it at school for the moment as i am very slow with my crutches and i don't want my injury to start regenerating slowly. Any more tips from what i've just said??? Thanks again Maya!! :) xx
I was 5 and a half weeks they removed my cast and told me to walk with crutches without another boot and I broke 3 bones in my ankle
Sharon Scott wait did u brake 3 bones in your ankle due to walking too early?
Hello Maya
about four months ago I had got my ankle fractured. In about two three months later i was able to walk without any problems but a very little bit pain. The problem is that when walking my ankle swells. What should I do please?
hi Maya I have a important question. I broke my leg in 3 places and I had to have an operation on my leg. the original plan was to have 2 surgeries to get the screws in and then take them out. but then we got told that its better to leave the screws in for ever. the doctor said that one screw is meant to snap inside my leg and that it will just stay there and it won't irritate me. they said the people that left the screws in are doing as well as the people who didn't leave them in. they said I can walk on my leg but I will have to use crutches. so that is what I've been doing I have no cast on which am happy about as it is summer and I love going swimming but I'm still really scared as in 3 weeks I will be going back to school and I do not want to go into school on the first day with crutches.the doctor said I can put weight on it but my ankle feels stiff with after having it in a plaster for a long time. it hurst when I put weight on it that should I do?
Today was my first physio therapy session. I'm 22 days post op and still non-weight bearing. Thank you for sharing ❤
Your op couldn't have been very long before mine, my accident was early April. The non weight bearing weeks are definitely the hardest. I'm also very aware of all the metal in my foot/ankle, and it feels like there's an elastic band around my ankle. It feels good to reach the point where I'm about to lose the orthopaedic boot, and work towards walking without a crutch or a limp
Watching this today 19/04/2013. Just got my boot after 6 weeks in cast. I'm given OK from surgeon to begin full weight bearing with my elbow crutches 😮😮...delighted but so 😱 fearful of pain, stumbling, another injury 😢 it's not easy. This posting has helped me right now already. ❤ 🇬🇧
2013🧐
Hi Maya, I've been for my first post op appointment after a trimalleolar fracture. I'm 3 weeks 2 days post op and have been told to minimal weight bear already. I'm terrified to be weight bear so soon. I can't use crutches very well so have been using a walking frame and wheelchair until now. The doctor gave me no information on how to begin and how much weight I can put on my foot so I'm working blind, any advice you can offer would be gratefully appreciated xx
Hey Maya,
Last week,i got my cast off after wearing it for 1 month.I currently have bruises and my foot is swollen though I have improved in moving my foot.In your experience,how many days or weeks after you removed your cast was your foot not-swollen? I think I'll be able to walk when the bruises are gone and when it's not swollen.Plz help?
I just got the okay to start walking this morning! 8 weeks after my break and surgery - already have the go for 50%! I was only in a soft cast for 3 weeks - then free healed with no cast or boot for 5 weeks.
I am right there with u so glad to find people going thru the same journey
Hey I know this is 3 years old but I just got out of my cast I have been in for 6 weeks I’m kinda scared to walk again
I have a lot of nerves tingling on the heel and ball of feet, I used a tens unit, and it’s almost gone, will see tomorrow if it holds, it stimulates the nerves that haven’t healed yet.
Hi mam 4 months back had operated medial malleolus (ORIF). Bt i can feel sensitivity like a shock on where the implant placed.. is it imposible to remove implants aftr 4months?
Thanks for this video. I have been progressively walking more since last 3 weeks since the green light. I’m afraid my fear is still in the mind! From being horizontal for 6 weeks, being vertical now feels a little scary! Need to work on the visualization you mentioned! Thanks!
You didn't walk for 6 weeks?
Yesterday I was given the green light to do full weight baring not partial but full after 9 weeks of no weight. I had a tri-fracture with dislocation. Had ORIF surgery. I stood on my foot for the first time today. Full weight. It was the most painful thing I have felt since I broke my ankle. The pain was all in my heel. How long before that pain goes away and how long before the pain at the bottom of your foot goes away. It feels like I'm walking on nails!
cougmom50
even if you got the green light for FWB start with partial. Take a week or 10 days to slowly increase the pressure onto your leg. I'm so sorry that no one told you that! Do you work with a physiotherapist or are you completely on your own? ❤ xx
Hi maya. Got hit by a car when road biking late January 2019 Talus broken and now finally home after 6 days in hospital following surgery. I'm a mountain biker and spend most weekends biking in the Port Hills in Christchurch New Zealand. Are you able to tell me have you had contact from any other cyclists mainly MTBer to find out if after recovery they can still get back in the saddle. Cheers Rich
I had Bone marrow edema and Diffusion. I was bedridden for 4 months. Suggest me some exercises......

Hi I broke my ankle six months ago and I’m still trying to learn how to walk without the Walker can you give me any advice???
hey maya, just want to ask one question.
When did u start walking with 100% weight on?
Am recovering from a broken ankle though did not have surgery. I have was in a cast for 9weeks,it was removed a week ago. Been experiencing a sharp excruciating pain on the heel when doing partial weight bearing. Wjat could be causing it?
Ta teden sem 7 tednov po op tibie in fibule - zdravnik mi je dovolil hoditi, do bolečine s pomočjo bergel, čez 2 tedna pa celo brez bergel. In me je strah pričeti hoditi, prosim vas za kakšne ekstra napotke :(
i had ankle surgery 1 week ago i got screws in my tibia and i’m starting highschool so i need to get out of this cast. my ankle feels completely fine so imma start walking. thank you for the advice !
Hi maya . I have undergone ankle surgery i.e. trimalleolar surgey(ORIF)
04 Weeks have been passed and condition are improving slowly but i feel stifness in joint of ankle. Feel like ankle has been locked and could perform limited movement. Is this continue for a long time. Any suggestion regarding this.
Deepu Singh hi. Very, very normal, I am at 3 months and a half, and still very stiff, 8 weeks after surgery the doctor told me to start moving foot up and down, 10 times up & down X 3, (30 reps). 3 times a days. If you can’t move foot up and down, wiggles toes, massage around ankle to get some movement around that area (what you can tolerate) Hang in there, one day at a time. Today was my first day putting a little weight on my foot with my boot, it was painful, but staying positive.
Hello I'm trying to start walking with a brace on my ankle again after ankle fusion surgery I have 100% weight bearing in my shoe and brace. How can I start walking without a cane or walker
Good morning Dr Moya , I broke my right ankle in September I did surgery in October,now I'm was told by my doctor to start walking on it but I'm afraid to do so because the ankle area is very tight and foot feels very weak what can I do to over come this fair.
Thanks Maya, one more thing my ankle is super stuff when I wake. It gets ok when i walk around. Need help please
I broke my ankle three years ago; trimalleolar fracture I walk with a limp and can't walk long distances without rest or my cain. The bone has healed well but these problems persist. I walk steps one at a time due to the lack of flex, I still have swelling and some burning and sensitivity to touch at the incision sites. Please advise.
I can walk but its stiff. I do not walk normally after 4 months. Ankle swells badly, too
I know :( I have two broken ankles and it's been about 7 almost 8 weeks
I fell down the stairs the end of November and im now attending physio. I am using a frame I can stand and do my weight bearing exercises and have full movement back in my ankle but im so scared to take my first full weight bearing step. I tend to hop or lift my foot up and rely on the frame to take the weight. I feel so alone and scared to take that first step 😢
How are you doing now?
Hi maya I am a 13 old girl and I will tell you my story. So I broke my ankle at exterior place( ok my English is pretty bad) and now the interior place.so I have completed the 3rd week and I started thinking how to walk again. Ok I will tell you that I am so scared and I have the fear that I will make it bad or broke ti again.... I am scared to fell and feel the pain and all about walking again....
So this is my story and i am so sorry about my English...I will be very happy to read your advice. Bye
Ελευθερια Ζαρα I’m 13 aswell, broke 2 bones in my ankle, fractured my growth plate and then had to have pins! Now trying to build up the muscle again as the bone has fully healed. So far I’ve had one physio lesson and have exercises that I have to do!
How can you do this with a 5 yr old. My son broke his leg, right above the ankle. The doc said it all healed now but he refuses to put his foot down. He has PTSD over it. He is afraid he will break it again. We have tried incensives, taking things away. Nothing has worked. He just flamingos and refused to put any weight on it without the boot. With the boot he can run, jump and even break dance. I worried the longer he wears the boot the longer it will take for him to walk on his own. I would appreciate any advice you can give.
How long should I walk after ankle surgery to get my ankle better? Sorry for asking so many questions.
Thank you for this. I fell and hurt my mcl in my knee and broke my fibula which and caused the bones in my ankle to move but none are broke in my ankle. I was in a cast for 8 weeks and then the doctor decided I needed 2 screws to put my ankle bones back where they needed to be. I scared to weight on my knee and ankle.
Here currently cause I have a broken ankle and I’m getting it off soon and scared I won’t walk normally. just looking all the vids to get some tips how to.
Back here cause I got my cast off on Monday
@@Kelluuuuuu How did it go?
About if you still have wound
I started full weight bearing walking from yesterday , still it's difficult to walk...not getting the proper Balance
I started today. I broke my ankle in 3 different places and was non weight baring until today. I thought I would start with partial weight baring but the doctor told me to just walk with a boot. It's pretty painful and I don't feel confident that it's stable enough. I'm so scared I'll fall if I don't have something to hold on to. It just feels weird to walk again after so long (2 months of non weight baring). Anyway, I guess I'm not alone in this.
Don't worry dude..it will come to normal, have patience and confident in you...keep doing the exercises, don't stop it any time...
Hi Maya! It’s been 8 weeks since I broke my ankle (trimalleolar). I didn’t get surgery. I have two more weeks til my next ff up xray. I’m still non weight bearing and i hope to be on partial weight bearing after my ff up xray. I’m afraid that i might rebreak my fibula when i do partial weight. How painful is it going to be to partial weight bear?
It feels like something is moving inside. Its strange
I feel same rn
@@purpledreams6631 Did the feeling eventually go away? I am feeling the same and in 5th week now.
Same for me, at the location of plate. Someone please answer of they got better. The feeling stays or goes
Thank you Maya
Is it normal to feel.like pins are pricking as you bear weight on the injured.foot?
Under the foot?
I swear I feel the same I just finished 6 weeks after ankle surgery and my doctor said yesterday I can do full weight bearing with boot and without but I feel pins and it is very uncomfortable but best of luck to u
i feel the same thing! i got told by my doctor that i can put weight with and without the boot after 6 weeks but it’s so hard 😩
Jennifer Salmeron same, I had pins and now i’m trying to learn how to walk again but it’s very uncomfortable 😬 also I’m a very cautious person so it’s not very good for me lmao
Jennifer Salmeron well done!! I broke 2 bones fractured my growth plate and then had to have pins and in 5 weeks the bones had fully healed!! I have exercises to do from physio and hopefully I’ll be walking properly in a few weeks but for now i have a walking boot and crutches😁
Hi Maya,
I just broke my ankle 10 days ago and still have swelling even though I have had my foot elevated. Now I am in a walking boot and I have noticed I am getting a lot of bruise from the boot and pain. Is this normal or is there something I can do to release the pain and stop the bruising?

Hello there, I have foot drop problem, I remain in bed for almost 4 years then to the wheelchair then to the walker and now on the crutches which is really bother me because I used to work for hours and hours and never get tired, I don't have balance too, so what the steps I have to do...?
Try to do some yoga workout for leg strengthening even in bed. It may help as it did help me.
@@IslanderloverBKK what i should try, i try to look on the web for some exercises but couldn't find any so far unfortunately I, they told me my problem that i cant have the orders from my brain to my foot and the order of balance too.
i forgot how to walk :(
hey i fractured my ankle and the doctor put a cast after one month remove already but the bones is still not 100% heal...it is ok if i move my ankle?
What did your doc say, Lemuel? Did you get the green light for moving it and doing the exercises?
he told when im in home i need to move it (but my second xray result is the not yet 100% heal) thats why im afraid to move it
If you got the green light for gentle movement from the doctor then it might be ok to move it. My bones weren't totally healed either when I started with the physio (but of course, I wasn't putting any weight on my leg).
Maya Novak yes he told me that if im in my bed i try to move it..when the cast not yet remove i always go to gym do you think that is the reason why the bone not heal?
Jus got an avulsion fracture😕😵😲
Hi Maya. I had a broken tibia and fibula which happened in Dec 2016 I only recovered completely with complete union only in July this year . I had 2 screws removed 2 days ago . I am still in pain mostly on my knee and ankle . I am hoping to be normal again . Any idea what I should do to get the best results?
Hi Maya I had fracture bones in three side and I had surgery in last month I had one plate 8 screws , Doctor told me to walk started but I can not when I started it's getting pain and it's like current

Hey Maya, i was NWB for 8 weeks. My doctor gave green light for walk but he didn't advise physiotherapy. I find walking difficult nd I limp. The back of my ankle is very tight nd painful. Please help me.
Doing the proper exercises for the ankle and foot is necessary to regain the flexibility and strength. Sorry to hear that your doctor didn't advise you this.
Here's what you can do.
1.) Talk to your doctor again and ask for PT sessions. I don't know how many you'll get and sadly, a lot of the times people get much less than what they need.
2.) Download the exercise guide with 7 foot stretching exercises here: bit.ly/StretchYourAnkle.
3.) And if you really want to change this then first watch the free online training about the 5 crucial things for successful ankle recovery and then join Iron Built Flexible Ankles. In this course, I'm sharing more than 50 ankle exercises that made a huge difference in my ankle and ankles of my clients: www.ironbuiltflexibleankles.com/
same problem doctor told me to walk its been 8 week so I walk easily withoutsupport but at night nerve is paining and muscle also totally get hard at ankle back side
I suffering the same problem right now? How long did it took you to start walking with the boot on?
So hard to understand,the room has alot of echo
i cream that im all dressed to kill got my heels on as i have geat legs and strutting my stuff and saying i got over my ankle injury
I'm afraid because I don't know where I can get money for the surgery on my fractured ankle. The worst
You go to the Er and they take you
Shouldn’t your physiotherapist advise you on this and guard you
I had a broken ankle (3 bones) and followed my physiotherapist advice and plan
Guide you, not guard
I was afraid I'm 9 weeks today and today I dropped one crutch 🩼 and walked with one crutch actually. What helped me is going to physically therapy for one two. Your body will let you know when your ready and what you can handle. 😊. I hope this week goes well and I can move to 100% in a boot soon. I honestly can't wait to ditch the boot
Why were you in bed that long? I had a terrible high ankle injury but they're making me walk on the 6th week. I'm terrified
Were you able to walk by 6th week? It's my 5th week now and was also advised to start walking by 6th. How did yours go?🙏🏻
@@IslanderloverBKK It went well there wasn't any pain just stiffness. You'll be fine as long as you are with your physiotherapist
Are you actually a medical doctor do you have a degree in medicine
i had a really bad ankle fracture a few years ago. my surgeon said it was one of the worst ever. lots of screws and plates inserted. couldn't wait to start PWB in a boot. no worries no fear for me. total 4 months with plaster boot etc. when i went to FWB i didnt use the boot indoors( never told surgeon). never had any pain or problems from 4 days post surgery.
all i can say is you must get a bunch of wimps watching this, and your approach is very negative
You are so negative and selfish!
You are lucky, nasty person calling other people wimps. You don't have exactly the same experience. Some people get other complications. Be loving towards others, i really wish you well and hope you dont suffer later which is common.
