Checking in

Hi. I'm ok. Ankle is feeling strong but foot is still having trouble making with the not being stiff anymore. Lately I've had a pain like walking on a wood splinter in the middle of my sole when my foot is trying to bend. But also my knee clicked yesterday which was incredibly satisfying.

Felt like I'd plateau'd with the weight-bearing a few days ago but since I made the realisation that it had I think it's on the up again. I guess it's not surprising to feel that way and to have ups and downs. I reassured myself about all the things I can do now that I couldn't a few weeks ago.

The cast, however, is too big and now hurts my leg if I do it up too tight. I've decided to only wear it if I'm leaving the house because I don't think it's worth the extra aching. I'll be very careful about walking without it but will try to build it up.

So there you go. All up to date.

The pain you describe could be plantear fascitis - which is an inflammation in the area you describe, especially if its closer to the heel than dead centre. I believe it can be triggered off once you start activity again after a period of inactivity.

Well that certainly would make sense!

Also, wore a pair of shoes today. A pair! Very exciting!

Glad you are seeing more progress on the weight bearing. Shoes too! A time of progress! When is your next appointment so you can take your non-fitty cast back?
