Ankle Update 20240404

I started physical therapy this past Monday, which is April Fool’s Day. The clinic signed me up for three sessions per week for eight weeks. I hope it does not last that long.

During yesterday’s session (#2), the therapist told me to not wear the walking boot next time, and to put more weight on my right ankle. Each session so far has consisted of a calf massage, a foot/ankle massage, and several exercises, usually three sets of ten repetitions on each leg. After each session, my right lower leg and ankle would swell a lot. I think that is normal since physical therapy works the non-fused bones and muscles. Both my legs and my right ankle are quite sore. Due to neuropathy however, I do not know if I am putting too much weight, or if the exercises are too intense.
