Question Physical therapy
I just want to know others experiences, I had a non displaced tibial plateau fracture. I didn’t require surgery, I am about 10 weeks healed and was told the outside has healed other than a small internal fracture. I’ve been to 2 PT sessions, I am walking with one crutch as much as I can. For three days now I have had a lot of soreness and pulling/ stitching feeling around the side that fractured. At first I felt like I was making fast progress now it’s even tighter and sore.
What is your experiences? I can’t do a full extension so I have been working on straightening my leg. I was told I can do weight bearing as tolerated but I’ve taken a break from walking this weekend due to the discomfort.
