My ankel is broken this evening.

This evening i fell on the stairs and my ankel is broken three times. There are two bones with breaks. One is at the tip of one bone where it meets another and one of the others they said was a "splinter fracture", cant remember about the third.

Tomorrow i see the orthaedist and they say in the ER that i will need surgery to heal it correctly. It will be about 12 weeks they say only to have the cast off. I cant even say how long before i can squat, if ever again! :( :(

Nice that my legs are seen on the board becuase it will a very long time before they can look like that again. Maybe never.

My question that i have is for anyone who have in the past such injuries and how long was your recovery? In the leg, knee, ankel, anything like this. How long did it take before you could do big pressing moves again??

Thanks all for any help you may have.
 
1 1/2 - 2 months, but only if you baby it for that whole time...hmmm didn't someone say AS helps aid in recovery from injury....

and my accident was i broke my ankle in 8 places during a wrestling match in highschool, hey atleast i won the match.
 
I'm really sorry to hear that because injuries really suck. You might not like to hear this, but at least you broke it and didn't sprain it. Those sprains are much harder to heal and take much longer. So...if you do a lot of physical therapy and take care of it by doing exercises and stuff...you should be back in no time! :) You can always push yourself harder than the doc recommends, but you need to know when you need to stop.
 
Know that you will be in my prayers this evening...and feel free to email me if you need anything.

Maybe talk to Hannibal or Spatterson about AR band work for your ankle after the cast is off...

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I am feeling so sad and lonely now. I cannot move without so much pain and must go to the bathroom on my knees. It hurts too much to use the crutchs. I layed on the floor at the stair bottom for 2 hours because i could not move because of the pain. I cannot work anymore as my job needs a lot of moving and i cannot pay much of the money of the hospital.

A bad day.........thanks all so much for your words!:D :D :D :D :D :D
 
AAS will help the recover a lot! (GH too if you have it, can get it)

My good friend tore her bicep (from the insertion) and had to have the arm immobilized for quite some time. She was concerned about the arm and it affecting her symmetry (she competes as a heavy).
She used GH at a fairly low dose and deca (which she has used before successfully) to maintain muscle mass. The GH she credits with mot losing much flexability in the tendon and the Deca worked to keep the muscle loss to a bare minimum.

When the cast came off the doctor was shocked with how rapdily it had recovered. She ended up "coming out" about her using GH and he wants her to document the dosage and the dosage she uses still as her xrays and examines the arm. He said that he feels GH is a very valid rehabilitaion aid, and all that keeps the scientific community from fully embracing it is a decent body of peer evaluated research...
Mabye someday we can thank her for insurance cover GH scripts? (Oh god, pleeeeaaaassseee!)


But as for YOU! You didnt seem so upset earlier, are you keeping things from me?? Get with me and let me know whats on your mind. Youll be fine, if youre sad we can talk. It'll all work out.
I'll make some calls and arrange for a "nurse" to come in and take care of you (*wink wink*)... she'll see to all your "needs" (*double wink wink*)
 
Poor girly!!! So sorry to hear this. I definitly know how frustrating and discouraging it can be to be held back by an injury. Hoping and praying all goes well and that they can put you back together-- and that you'll be as good as new as soon as possible.

Sorry to hear that. I broke both bones in my right leg and shattered the growth plate when I was younger.


As you are in tremendous shape - rehab will be easier than expected.


btw - Where in Ga are you. I'm outside Athens
 
Hang in there girl. Things have a way of working themselves out.
Can we all come over and sign your cast??????:)
 
So sorry to hear that!!! :bawling:

Oh - yes, I want to come sign the cast! :)

We will do our best to keep you entertained so at least you don't feel lonely (already brainstorming what entertaining things I have to e-mail you.....) :kiss:

:worried: be afraid magdelana, be very afraid :worried:

:lmao:
 
I hope it will heal fast..... i feel sooo sorry for you lying there for so long when you fell.....

i think one fractures wont easily keep you from squatting again. make sure thats its absolutely 100% ok before you try it tho....

some gh.... i dont know but if it really aids recovery so much try it
 
My God, that's awful, I'm so sorry to hear about it. I hope you're not in too much pain. You'll come back from this, I'm sure -- you're in great shape, and you obviously have the discipline needed to recover from the this kind of injury. Did you have insurance for here in the states? I hope so!

How'd it happen?

I will spare you the details of my injuries. Let it suffice to say that both knees got shattered. Took a long time, but now I am stronger than ever.

As soon as you can tolerate it, begin to stretch the ankle. As it heals it will easily become capable of bearing weight, the number one problem is avoiding a loss of flexibility. And losing flexibility in the ankle can limit you in many ways.

When you start walking again, do not limp, no matter how much it hurts. You can develop poor motor recruitment patterns that can affect your hamstrings and even your back.

I am sure you will do fine.
 
Thats really is horrible Mag. I hope you feel better soon! With those legs that you have, I am sure you will heal up fast. The last time it happened to me, it didnt take too long. Hell, I was in the gym with a blowup foot cast!

Hang in there girl, take your pain pills and get in to the doc ASAP, I hope you feel better soon!!:)
 
setbacks are great opportunities for a comeback. you will comeback stronger than ever because you seem to be a strong person.

I hope you feel better soon. :kiss:

I've known powerlifters that have ripped their kneecaps out (on tape can see them travelling up their legs) and come back stronger than ever.
I know of one powerlifter who badly broke his leg playing rugby and he came back to squat 700+ at 198lb.
There is also a pic of a powerlifter on the training board who broke his leg whilst squatting 731 I believe......at a bodyweight of 181(?). He came back to squat 900+!!

Bad injuries happen all of the time.......just recover properly, then take a bit of time coming back and you will be as strong as ever.
 
Thanks so very much for all the responses!!! :D :D :D :D

The orthaedist says the surgery is on friday and the cast is on for only 8 weeks. He sees how big my legs are and says "are you a bodybuilder or powerlifter?" I was rather surprised and say bodybilder. He says "i guess you want to get to your training again very soon, dont you?" Of course i tell him. He says i will use these bands he show me to make flexible again the ankel about being in the cast so long and that will take two weeks after the cast.
The bands are of different thickness and i build up to the bigger ones. He says no training for 10 weeks, but i am starting extensions and leg curls the day that cast is off.

Arioch i am keeping mindful your advice about not limping. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

No i have no insurance here. I have only been here 2 1/2 months and was not thinking to stay even this long. My brother says he can pay for my injuiry with his home insurance because it happening in his house and the ambulance can say that too, but i think he is lying and is planning to pay for it himself. The surgery will be 8 thousand. this is so much!
 
That is so very sweet of your brother. The two of you seem to be very close. That is rare in life that siblings care for each other so much.

You are planning on moving back?! BLAH Brian Fellow say's "That's CRAPPY!"
 
Yes they are like rubber (not the right word, but do you know i am saying?)and are coloured differently. Red, bleu, yellow, etc. He says they build back the strenght of the ankel and the flexibleness.

I hope it is true about the insurance becuase the kost is so high in amerika. We have social health care in Holland. There are not these worries.
 
It's unfortunate about your injury. I hope you weren't in too much pain. Take plenty of VitC to promote healing.

It may take as little as 8 weeks for the bones to heal, but then you have to learn how to walk again. The physio will help you strengthen and stretch the muscles that were immobilized from the cast, but you already knew that. I used the band and gravity in my physio. It was difficult not to limp, but that can't helped esp. soon after the cast is taken off. The muscles aren't strong enough to let you walk normally. I also did the Alphabet with my feet. That particular exercise helped with the rotation and flexion. As my ankle got stronger, I started adding exercise such as calf raises.

Don't fret too much on losing those gorgeous legs:p. You'll get them back quickly. You never know, the rest may be something you've needed for a long time.

Take it easy

pooh :jester:

awwww, it's ok Lana, now you can be the bionic woman; strong and made out of part metal. :bigkiss: I hope you feel better soon!!!! If you don't I can come down and give you the most incredible massage of your life that will make you melt. :D
 
I REALLY feel for you,

As a matter of fact i am recovering from a broken ankle at his very moment (the last 6 months, I only started training again this month, this is longer than usual as the operation incision got bacterial infected with hospital bacteria!!!
I suggest you get out of the hospital asap and also let them check very very frequently for infections, so that they can prescribe anti-biotics in a timely matter))

What i can tell you is that it's very very important to keep your leg on an incline angle (put some elevation on/under your "matras" (what's the english word for it?)

Also use recline chairs and a stool and cushions to put your leg on ( prefery 45 degrees incline, so gravity really help, this is much better than anything lower

This will allow swollen bloat to flow away easier.

Swimming and biking can be done to regain basic flexibillity/endurance even BEFORE you are able to walk.

The muscles round my right knee got very weak from non-uses and a bit stiff. I should have used a leg-extension/leg curl machine earlier in the process to keep it's function up to par, now I have to work overtime to get back.

Thank our creator for muscle memory. My upperbody is returning in a relatively short time once i comenced training again

When you can make the first steps and you start training the ankle, it's beneficial to put some ice on it to improve bloodcirculation/ reduce swollen


:bawling: :angel:
 
Vortexx,

You mean 'mattress'.......

Hope you get back to normal soon.

Mags, I am SOOOOoooo sorry to hear this! Grrr, how frustrating and painful for you! I'm sending you healing waves across the cybersphere - wishing for your quick recovery. Keep your spirits up girl and don't do anything silly to prolong your recovery now!
 
My cast was taken away today. Yaah! My ankel is swolled still of course and quite stiff. I have a 20 centimeter scar on the outside of it and about a 15 centimeter thick raised one on the inside of my ankel. Quite nasty looking.

AND MY LEG WAS LIKE CHEWBACCA!

I begin with the elastic bands now to put back the strengh and flexibliy of the ankel. I can walk on it, but it cannot bend so it is a big limp.

Have lost 3/4 of a inche from my thighs since the injury, down to 27 3/4 but somehow no change in my calf size at all. Strange. :confused:

I was looking just now at all the kind comments the day i broke this ankel and i was so happy becuase of it. That day was quite depressing. Thanks so much all! :D :D
 
magdelana,

i'm so happy you are better! i'm also very happy you bumped this old thread....my husband completely dislocated his ankle three weeks ago today. he's going thru all the emotions you went thru. they never put him in a cast, and he had surgery to put the ankle back in the joint, no pins tho. his was a subtalar dislocation and was open as well. any tips on keeping his spirits up? they said he'll be down 12 weeks....i hope they are wrong. he's already in therapy, doing the alphabet as poohbear said she did and picking up marbles with his toes, etc. seems to be improving daily. i hope he recovers as quickly as you did!

it happened to me that I underwent surgery early march and the doctor said that it would take for me the whole healing process about 8 weeks before even trying to workout... i was desperate, but my boyfriend (who's bodybuilder too) made a whole research in what supplements may help.
In my case, which was a muscular thing I took extra protein, glutamine, aminoacids. In a sort of way we bent the rules, because the doctor said that I should only have 1 meal in the afternoon.... 1 meal!!! so I was just awakening from the surgery when he already had a big protein shake there for me. My recovery time was shorter than the doctor expected.
So in your case because it is a bone thing, it comes to my mind taking calcium like adding more to one you already take daily... maybe some tablets which also include vitamin D3 and vitamin K, glucosamine may also help. Do search on things that can make your bones stronger and not getting catabolic in the process.
For your scar, after 3 weeks try using a silicon sheeting for about two months in your scar, then buy a cream called Mederma (found in walgreens and k-marts) and use it 3-4 times per day for about two months. It works very well to smooth scars.
