Wallynut Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 That really sucks, hope it heals real well and no problems for the long term. I broke my ankle at work a few years ago and it was a drag to go thru all that and still have trouble. Takes me a little longer to get going in the morning. Hopefully, being young will be on your side for the healing part, don't rush it, do what the doc tells ya, don't blow off therapy if they send ya neither, that is the most important part.

2Smoker Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 It sucks being hurt! Sitting there not being able to do anything... Take it easy on that leg, just because the cast is off doesn't mean its fully healed. It takes a long time to fully heal a bad break.
