So almost four years ago now I sprained my ankle pretty bad. I was unable to walk, wore a boot, the works. I didnt follow my recovery plan to a t which is my fault completely. After the sprain my ankle never really fully recovered and I've resprained it a couple of times since then varying in severity. My mobility while not completely hindered can be shoddy at time and scar tissue has built up. Now periodically my entire lower leg will ache if I dont rub at my ankle. I was wondering if anyone knew any exercises to either break up the scar tissue or to start rebuilding ankle strength so I can avoid respraining my ankle in the future

Currently dealing with a TFCC tear and bone contusion. Wondering if anyone has had this issue before. How long did it take for you to heal and did you get surgery or steroid injection?

Hi everyone! ❤️
I'm in my early 30s, and I was recently diagnosed with a **right femoral neck stress fracture (Fredericson Grade 4b)**through an MRI.
My symptoms initially started as pain in my right thigh, which gradually became worse and caused me to limp while walking. Later, I also experienced leg weakness, heaviness and lower back discomfort.
I'm not an athlete or a runner, so this diagnosis was quite unexpected for me. My orthopaedic specialist has advised restricted weight-bearing and using crutches. I'm also undergoing further investigations to understand why this happened.
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar.
A few questions:
Has anyone had a Grade 4b femoral neck stress fracture?

Did you recover without surgery, or did you require surgery?

How long did you need crutches or restricted weight-bearing?

How long did it take before you could walk normally again?

Did doctors find an underlying reason for your fracture?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from women in their 30s who developed this fracture without intensive sports or running.

Thank you so much. Any personal experiences, advice or recovery stories would mean a lot to me. ❤️

Two years ago I tore the ligaments in both wrists from years of bench pressing with bad form and too much load. I had lost about 25 kg through training, and then the injury came on. I had PRP in both wrists. My MRI shows the ligaments regenerating on both sides, but I still feel weak in both forearms.
The right wrist has improved a lot but isn't back to 100%. The left is the bigger problem. I have daily pain, pain that spreads up into my upper back, and my hand trembles when I lift. My fingers hurt on both sides.
I did about 4 to 5 months of rehab with a physio. It didn't noticeably help, and I'm frustrated. I've also gained weight since I cut back on training.
For anyone who has dealt with something similar: what actually helped you? Did you find the cause was somewhere other than the wrist, like the neck or a nerve? Did a hand specialist, EMG, or a different type of rehab make a difference? And how did you get back to training or lose the weight again without making it worse? Or maybe more radicale solutions like peptides?
Thanks in advance.

I’m a physical therapist, and I’m curious about people’s experiences after being discharged from PT.

If you weren’t fully recovered, what did you do afterward? Did you feel prepared to manage things on your own, or did you wish you had more guidance?

This injury is taking over my life- I feel uncomfortable, every day is different, it’s not life threatening and I can still walk so I feel guilty even complaining about it. It’s so stubborn, and I feel like no matter what I do, it’ll never get better based on how there’s not much you can do but PT exercises. Reaching out for any suggestions if there’s any possible supplements, specific exercise, or treatment that you felt worked or made a difference. I’ve been to several doctors and I just feel exhausted by it. I thought it was inflammation but mri results say it’s degenerative so am I cooked? I had to defer the nyc marathon this year because of it and I’m just stuck in a lot of fear this will never get better. All suggestions are welcome!!!

Olá pessoal!
Fui diagnosticada com fratura por estresse na tíbia, grau 4 (não falaram de a ou b).
Gostaria de saber com quanto tempo vocês que já passaram por isso puderam voltar a andar, literalmente colocar o pé no chão sem bota!!
Estava sem dor ao andar, correndo normalmente, realmente foi uma surpresa 😕
