Hi all, long time lurker and first time poster.
Yes, the dates in my signature are correct, I had 3 surgeries in 4 days due to 2 dislocations and failed MUA. On the last surgery he decided to place a restraining ring. Both dislocations felt like I'd been punched in the muscle with a sledgehammer.
I've had no problems with healing, scar looks great. Walking with one crutch in the house and 2 outside for safety.
Still taking pain meds, 15/500 Co-Codamol 3x daily.
Had no PT, got given a booklet at hospital, tried a few and said nope, it hurts. All I've done PT wise is walk and minimal housework (wiping worktops, washing dishes etc).
Was wondering if any of you had any tightness of the achilles tendon after surgery?. Mine is worst in a morning but eases with a few gentle ankle flexes. Any and all advice is appreciated.
