L Lower Leg, Fracture
2014-02-28 – 2014-12-28
Grade: 4
Broken Fibula right at the ankle. Required plate to be screwed in.
Recovery from surgery was surprisingly the most painful thing I've ever experienced....and I've been married for 16yrs.
Finally got running on trails by Oct (7months later). Still with discomfort. More probolmatic is body is out of balance from lack of activity. Low back is sore, gluts are not firing causing knee pain (especially downhill) and lungs kick out after 1.5hrs of activity.
Focus on stretching and using all the right muscles. If knees hurt during a run, stop and shake out gluts. Suck up the pain that come the morning after.
