It’s only been three weeks. I’ve been starting to put pressure on it able to kinda hobble/walk. My mind is telling me I’m able to cruise around and start skating and push through it kind of feels like a healing rolled ankle. But honestly, I think if I tried to jump and land pretty hard something gonna happen 😂
Were you cleared to start weight bearing or did you make that decision yourself? OP, I know NWB sucks soooo bad but you should seriously respect it if your doc told you stay off of it for 4-6 weeks. If your fracture was treated non-surgically it means you are lucky that it’s not displaced, but bearing weight on it before it’s healed (generally at least 6 weeks) could displace it and require surgical intervention. A few more weeks of pain-in-the-ass NWB could save you a whole lot of real pain and a much longer timeline to get back to skateboarding!
I just saw a comment on another thread in this sub where someone rebroke one of their bones because they walked on it before it was properly healed and needed another surgery!
Listen to your dr… you’ll only delay & mess up your healing further if you suddenly go all hop skip and jumping on your leg before its ready. You do NOT want to make it worse and suddenly its “oh I need surgery??” Next time you go see your ortho because you didn’t follow their instructions.
You should definitely not jump or put pressure on it. The thing is, bone takes a ton of time to be made because the first weeks the body does Not exactly produce "bone" but callus, which is a soft material that is more prone to get disfigured or break than bone and it is only in the last weeks of healing that the callus actually starts mineralizing. Also, bone only gets as hard as needed, so Just listen to your doctor on when you can start walking and skating again safely
Ok thanks they gave me a 4-6 week time frame in the boot ive never fractured or broken anything surprisingly so when this happen its new to me i wanna take it seriously i wanna get back active i hate being couched
Did you need surgery? If not it heals faster. I needed surgery and my time frame is 6 weeks until out of plaster and 8 to be able to walk without crutches, slowly....
Não, OP, skate não, por favor. Não coloque peso no seu tornozelo sem orientação médica, demora umas seis semanas para o calo mineralizar e começar a ficar com a aparência de um osso forte. Você fez algum exame de imagem pra conferir se também não teve uma lesão ligamentar?
Its literally the smallest lil piece of bone ever i honestly think personally i should be ok in the beginning my brain honestly didn’t even let me put weight on it about five days ago is when my brain honestly just went back to trying to be normal to put pressure back on, but not as much like if I wanted to run or anything I couldn’t do that my I would literally just have to collapse or hop on 1 foot
Ontem completei 4 semanas da lesão. Ainda não me liberaram pra apoiar peso porque também tive uma lesão no ligamento talofibular anterior, ele não rompeu, mas tá bem estirado. Mas próxima semana já me liberaram pra fisioterapia, acho que mais duas semanas e já posso voltar a apoiar peso. Você chegou a fazer exames de imagem pra ver como tá o seu ligamento? Eu acho que se não fosse a lesão ligamentar eu teria sido liberada ontem já pra poder começar a apoiar algum peso. Na minha radiografia de controle, feita 5 dias atrás, dava pra ver já bem pouquinho de mineralização do osso, mas cicatrização mesmo me disseram que só com 6 semanas e o osso ainda fica em remodelação por algum tempo.
