I'm glad I helped! Good luck on your recovery, you are still pretty fresh out of it.

I am glad I was able to help you!

Hey Fernando may I ask what is your update

Of course man you can be back at it in no time! Just gotta keep pushing forward 💪 I appreciate the comment

Thanks for commenting! Your injuries sound tough, that must have been a lot to deal with. I am still dealing with some pain from the injuries too but its not too bad. And yes, getting back to what I love was a big deal for me, so I made these videos to help others achieve the same goal!

canonguy1 hey how’re you doing! How did your ankle bones shape up! Are they back without any swelling around the ankle

Howd the recovery go? Just broke mine two weeks ago and barely can walk

@@daltonm6870 I will tell you that your physical therapist is your best friend. They are your trainer. But the MOST IMPORTANT part is doing your exercises even on your own. As much as you can. The first few weeks really sucked. I recommend you keep a calendar. Keep up with your progress. Your ankle and knee are key. If you do not keep them moving and flexible it can never be fixed. I am to the point of walking again. Not like before, but no big limitations. Even if it hurts move your ankle and knee as much as you can. Really it depends on your determination to recover. I feel for you. The calendar will help you see your progress and recovery. Get a stationary bike. Or elliptical you can use off the sofa or chair. Don't overdue it, but be consistent in pushing forward. Record it. I did two minutes on the bike, four minutes, six minutes. Let it happen easily. I wish you the best of luck. It sucks. Hardcore. But you got this!

Good luck in your healing, I hope you overcome the pain easily.

Same thing just happened to me

Have you recovered and is your knee flexibility back to normal? Im currently recovering and I would like to know if I would be able to be back on the motorcycle soon

​@jureklanac6193 it took me about 2 or 3 months after the accident to get back in the saddle; knee flexibility is essentially back to normal as well as strength. I do continue to have some muscle imbalances but it's just the way the cards are dealt. Hope you recover quickly and take PT seriously!

@@Bruce-Wayne717 thank you for replying, im glad that you recovered well and I hope that I will also recover and be back on the road soon. Ride safe bro

@@jureklanac6193 you as well champ 🤙🏼

Glad I could contribute.

You’ll heal up, the time depends on the severity of your injury but also how well you take care of yourself. Stay positive and remember you’ll get thru it!

How are you doing now? I broke my tib and fib feb 4 so I’m just now at 6 weeks

@@evadeproductions4255 i had a broken fib tib can you send me your face book account or any social media and spare me atleast a 5 minutes of your time to chat? ..#desperately

@@taylorshirey3728 hey I hope all is well on your recovery I myself got my tib fib fractured I'm now a month post OP no pins or ntn just reduced reduction and bone manipulation... what was your procedure??

Glad to hear I could help 🙏

also was your knee super stiff at first?

I don’t think it would hurt to try walking backwards. You want to regain use of muscles and tendons as fully as possible so any movement is good

Hey Marko, I had some knee swelling after the recovery around the 5 month point. Riding my bike and icing it helped, although I didn't have to ice it very much. Strengthening the leg muscles with the bike or lifting would definitely help with the knee pain. also try to relive tension from being sedentary for so long by doing massage or foam roller and stretching on the whole leg.

that's what recovery needs, very well said

I pretty much still knew how to do all my tricks once I was able to skate again. The hard part was dealing with a bone that wasn't fully mended.

It took me around 6 months before getting my skills back on the board.

im still able to ride at the skatepark and jump off small ledges and kinda "run" ( for like 100ft then stop) but its pretty dull aching pain, while not as bad as before its still a kinda annoying pain just curious if you went through the same problem.

Yes I had knee swelling and developed illiotibial band syndrome over a protruding screw

@@evadeproductions4255 crap i wonder if i have a protruding screw also because the one on the top below my feels weird and is the only thing i can think of as to why my knee still aches since everything else feels good.. Did you have to call your ortho to request a removal of the screw? Or did they see it was protruding and decided on removing it?

also how long after sugary did you get the screw removed?

@@Thebmxican It was like a year after getting it put in that I asked for a removal via appointment.

I am 5 months out and there is still a little swolen bump where my bone broke

@@markovracarevic2014 okay thank you. because am 3 months and 2 weeks and i just wanted to know if its okay to have swelling around the fracture site while doing therapy because i'm like a little scared when coming to weight bearing on it .

Mine is the same at six weeks break pain is minimal, knee and ankle sorer, due to scar tissue,, ,12 weeks is a good heal time, doc told me

Hey may I ask what is your update

@@DezziK-fe6hb I'm pretty much healed and can hike the white mountains in New Hampshire all day. However, I do get a bit of nerves pain once in a while in the inner part of the knee where the screws are. I also had the screws on the ankle removed about 9 months ago cuz they protruded out a bit and caused a bit of discomfort when wearing boots. I thought about removing the screws on the knee too but the doctor suggested I leave them in case I decide to remove the rod later on. Best of luck on your healing journey.

@@NguyenQA thank you I also wanted to know how is your mobility and flexion and do you have a limp

And we’re you consistent with PT

I appreciate you trying to add, but I can ensure you that my bone was nowhere near fully mended at 6 weeks. I didn’t get any old fracture, I was hit by a car at a high speed resulting in multiple fracture sites as well as a compound fracture. Not to mention the trauma of surgery. Think about it, more bone needing to be replaced takes longer to heal. And I know from x-rays

walk no crutches - 8 weeks, run - 1 year

I did my own physical therapy for the leg on a bicycle stationary trainer and just on a regular bike. However I did do physical therapy for a shoulder which I got surgery on for the same accident that caused the broken tib/fib, which really helped. I would start by exercising the ankle and trying to get full range of motion back there and in your knee. Maybe try walking in a pool first. Best of luck in your healing process!

​@@evadeproductions4255 I don't have a stationary bike sadly. Maybe that is something I can consider getting as my knee's range of motion is still limited to about 90 degrees and I want to work on that. My ankle is still quite swollen, but I have recovered a small amount in that area though maybe at about 60% range of motion. I never thought about the pool, that is such a good idea! May bring it up at my next doctors appointment. Anyways thanks for taking the time to respond! Your video has been the one I related to the most and watching videos like this has helped me tremendously through this whole ordeal. I share the sentiment in wanting to skate again as I basically skated almost every day before my accident. Your video definitely made me want to take up biking! Thanks again for the well wishes, I'll try my best to heal and get back out there!

@@caedev Best of luck mate thanks for the comment and replies!

It probably will, but I wouldn't worry about it. Pain is temporary.

I go over these questions in my other video on the broken leg, check it out

Good luck getting your body back to normal robs, I know you'll get everything in your body back to normal eventually!

Same for me, six weeks it is better

Laaland Clare I’m walking ok now. Still hurts and clicks thou

I did that but I was quite sedated at the time.

couldn't walk on my right leg (the one i broke) for like a month

@@ReversedTech broke my tibia fibula last month just want to ask bro will the broken leg be normal again? will i able to get my strength back again. i m 24

@@alphagamer8894 yh, about 6 months in I started to be a lot better

that's normal I think, as long as you drink as much water as possible and try to put ice on the swollen parts then the blood vessels and veins should recover allowing you to gain some more sensitivity.

Hey, sorry to hear that. I always recommend using a bicycle to improve pain management - during exercise your body releases natural pain blocking chemicals and you will increase your growth hormone through the work out. Both of these things make recovery easier.

Thank you brother

No

Month 3 or 4 is still pretty fresh, If you can walk then that's good! I would recommend trying to walk every day for around an hour if possible (might be too much pain or swelling). You want to get enough exercise so that your cardiovascular system stays healthy (since that's basically the backbone of all healing in your body). You also want to use the broken leg enough so that you stimulate growth of new bone. The bone will not grow stronger if you do not stress it! So once you feel confident walking, try putting more pressure and once you feel able to, try jogging, jumping, or taking hard steps! For the pain in your knee you should talk to a physical therapist. I can not stress how much the stationary and real bike helped for my healing process though!

Thank you for your suggestions.

Me too, I'm 2 weeks in 😥

Not an easy task right?! But you just need to push through the pain to gain function of the leg. The best thing you can do to stimulate bone growth is to put weight on the broken bone. The second best thing is to make your body produce HGH by exercising daily. This is what I used the stationary bike for. Hope you have a steady recovery!

@@evadeproductions4255 Not easy. I'm not even in a boot yet! It's hard af when you are independent. Meals and PT on my own. Sometimes I wish I had the means to check myself into a rehab facility.

@@evadeproductions4255 I just got an exercise bike just because of this video . I’m putting moderate weight on my leg but I’m still a while away from being able to walk without crutches or cane . Leg feels so unbalanced

@@mister2strains can you bend your knee yet? Get crutches once u can hold your foot up . Makes it easier to get around . But you will get better . It’s just patients . I feel more confident after the progress I’ve made so far . But this is a long journey.

Bro same but

I broke my leg tbial nail I have metal Nd screws but I have to wait till one year so they can take it off Nd When I walk a lot it starts to hurt Nd it’s been 3 months ago bro since the accident happen

Check with a physiotherapist they'll recommend you some exercise and it'll improve . I also had tibia,fibula surgery and I also feel limping and pain during walking I think it will get more better when they remove the plate.

Milya Yes, he mentioned the possibility of getting the hardware and rod taken out. To me, it doesn’t make sense to take it out. The rod isn’t causing me pain so it isn’t worth the surgery. Also I don’t understand why your surgeon is giving you a time limit to get the rod out, I would think that getting it taken out later, when the bone is 100% healed, would be better than to take it out within 6 months. And yes, if you happened to get in a catastrophic accident where the damage is so severe to break your leg AND bend the rod, it would not be a good time - but I’m sure you know those chances are very low. I choose to keep my rod in and take the benefits of a reinforced leg :D

Thank you very much for your advice! Much appreciated 😊

no pain, leave it there, stronger than bone

Get it removed when your bone is 100%healed

Doc told my son yesterday it stays in forever.. My son us 19..

Running is good. I can sprint fine, no pain from the leg injury whatsoever.

No, no swelling on my break site anymore.

@@evadeproductions4255 how long did you have swelling after the injury?

Yes 100% bro. You just need to give yourself time stay positive and if you got clearance from your doc try to work on rehab ASAP. 💪💪💪

@@evadeproductions4255 thanks a lot bro

update bro: i am able to walk on walker with 50percent weight. it has been 77 days

No you'll be able to walk shortly , once they get you in a walking boot you'll be able to walk, it's going to hurt like hell at first, and you'll have a lot of pain for a month or so. Running will take a long long time. It's been months since i've broken my leg and i still can't run. And sports will take a year to get back to, at minimum

You'd be surprised

That's the only way to keep recovering! You just have to push your boundaries as often as possible.

Thanks 💕

Can you tell me how did you fully recovered and doing running 🏃

@@amirraza9211 when u able to put weight on leg for first tims after accident..

@@usamaaliatiq3896 when ur stitches remove u can put weight on your leg. I put weight on my leg after 15 day's.

Yes

You will get it if you keep practicing :)

And when you started running, is the swelling still present on the ankle or on the break site?

Yes, now I can sprint as fast as I want.

Do you have screws in or a rod left in your leg. 1 1/2 month post tibia and fibula break.

@@josh5787 Yes, everything is still in from the surgery except one upper screw that I had removed due to it causing pain.

Hi, was it a quick outpatient surgery to remove that one upper screw? Thanks.

@@mailinh922 Yes it was outpatient and the surgery only took about an hour. Obviously I was at the hospital for about half the day, just waiting. They used general anesthesia and local anesthetic. The recovery time was about two weeks, but I was able to walk the day of the surgery.
