guineapiggie101 0 #1 March 10, 2011 For those of you who have sprained an ankle/foot, did you find that you healed a lot faster than what the doc predicted? Also, did you have a hard cast or just a soft cast with a walking boot? The doc is telling me I cant do any sports for 2 months because I majorly sprained one of the ligaments on my foot. I have a "soft" cast and a walking boot. It is a major PIA to walk with crutches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muscle sprain, tenton sprain and ligament sprain are all completely different animals.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #3 March 10, 2011 Hi guineapiggie, Have to ask, are you just trying to get around the good advice from your previous thread? Here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=4074943;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; IMO, as a medical professional, if the doctor gave you his expert advice I'd heed it and do what he says. And yeah, I hate crutches too. Take a look at this 'Knee Walker' and see if it might give you some relief and save your arms: http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/17475/new_prod_full.asp Stay well . . . Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote MEH - get a freakin walker! No, but seriously . . . a 'knee walker' is ALOT better than chewing up your arms with crutches. Or better yet, she could try the iWalkfree! It's a pretty awesome device, but tricky to handle if you're not extremely coordinated. I had the inventor ship me one to try out. I got pretty good . . . if I used a cane!
