2 weeks post op, not walking
Hi guys! I’m not gonna lie I’m really stressed out about my recovery progress.
From day 1 I did all my PT exercises, and doctor said I could walk with crutches (weight bearing as tolerated). However, 2 weeks later and I’m honestly behind schedule. I’m extending to 9 degrees, and walking is just IMPOSSIBLE because of my limited extension. I can bear weight, but the walking part has to happen in the most bizarre and unnatural way. I read everyone is walking without crutches on week 3 and I’m like… did I ruin my progress? 😅
Also we found out yesterday when removing the stitches, that 5mm of my wound did not close properly. So now I’m withhold from physio until it closes, which means even less progress.
Basically: freaking out 😭
Anyone went through the same? 🙏
