Lace Weight
Posted on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 at 11:36 pmHow important is physical therapy in the recovery from a sprained and strained ankle?
I'm 35, healthy, not overweight, female, get good nutrition, have no other medical conditions. Got a grade 2 sprain and a grade 3 strain 2 weeks ago. Now able to walk without crutches or cane while wearing an athlete's brace. (Vinyl, steel reinforced, laces up, and you can wear it inside your shoe.)
When I went in for physical therapy evaluation, I was given a piece of paper with 4 very simple, non-weight bearing exercizes I am to do with my injured foot/ankle. 10 reps, 3 times a day each. And I am not to do the exercizes to the point where they cause me pain, but it is okay to do them to the point of discomfort. ('Ankle pumps', 'draw the alphabet with your toe', etc.)
I am doing these simple exercizes, and will continue. But how important is it to set up future appointments with physical therapist? She wants me to come in 3 times a week for the next three weeks. Will this really hasten my recovery?
I'm 38 years old, but at 27 I shattered my left ankle. I had to have pins and a plate put in. The surgeon told me he could tell me what types of exercises to do for therapy but if I didn't do them, he'd send me to therapy. I did them a lot and healed on my own.
The most important thing I can share with you is HOW I shatterred my ankle. My ankles are both weak. They are both this way because I played basketball in school and sprained them just like you did, a lot. The problem was, I didn't take the time to let them heal properly so they got weak on me. Whatever you do to avoid going through what I have, make sure you take the time to let it heal properly and get strong again. Mine aren't. They give out all the time and sometimes I am on stairs and this particular time I wasn't holding the rail and one gave out and the other snapped over the step. It was a mess. The pain I went through the day I did it and right after surgery was a 12 on a scale of 10. I had a child and that experience was a 5 out of 10!!
I would ask the therapist if the exercises are going to get more difficult, or if they are going to basically be the same. If the same, do them on your own at home, but please keep doing them. I found walking on hills (with the ankle bending forward) were the most theraputic. Best of luck to you. Hope this has helped some.
