I feel I am in good company! Had my last visit with the OS on Monday the 17th. He feels I am doing well that he does not need to see me again unless I have questions.
He prescribed 2 more months of PT and gave me the the okay to get on my bike. He said the pain and tightness would continue for at least several more months but it would feel more normal as I get closer to 12 months (surgery was on 2/23/16).
I told him I tire easily and he told me getting more exercise will help with that and that it is critical to have proper diet, rest and exercise. He said the same injured leg may never look exactly like the other leg but he feels the strength and ability will be close to 90% and that is a good outcome.
ROM at 110 today. Had a new PT who gave me some tips to eliminate the lump. Has me of an exaggerated heel strike, roll the foot forward and push off with the toes. It works!
What an injury!
