Tibia and fibula fracture how to#

I think this is when I got my stitches and staples out. Dropping my leg below my waist will cause my leg to swell and change a horrible purple color, still pain and itching if I let it drop for too long. Oxycodone at first, then switched to hydrocodone once the pain went down somewhat. Dropping my leg below my waist made it swell tremendously and hurt something fierce. A 'soft' cast for a month or so with almost constant elevation and rest, only lowered my foot for the bathroom and to move rooms. A week in and out of hospital for two surgeries, first for a external fixator and then the second for plates and screws. Thank you all in advanced for your thought and suggestions, and sorry for the lengthy message. Impulse stimulation- Does anyone recommend buying one of those impulse stimulators online?.

Scars- how to minimize them? What to use, when, and for how long?.Numb spots- anything I can do about this? How long can I expect them to be numb for?.PT- what kind of rehabilitation therapy is most effective? Where should I seek PT (my insurance or private studios)? How should I ask my insurance for it (since they are not offering any other than a person manually moving my leg, and even that not yet)? What can I do on my own? When to start? How to start?.Locked joints- my knee, ankle and now even my hip became stiff. I cannot move my knee, its locked, and my ankle also, but it’s just so close to the injury I wouldn’t try to move it yet. How do I do about trying to start to move them, and when?.Procedure impact on the knee- how much did this procedure disturb my knee? How to recover it? Will this procedure cause any knee pain in the future?.The swelling- my knee, ankle and foot are swollen and my leg is blue from knee down. There has been a significant improvement on the knee since the beginning when it was like a balloon, but its’ still swollen compared to the other knee which I believe restricts the range of motion. Any thought on who to reduce swelling and bruising?.I would like to know some timelines and milestones so that I can manage my expectations during my recovery, and also to get some hints on what I can do to recover faster. I get so little information from the doctors, and they always have the same answer to all my questions- “it depends on a person”. I would like to hear about experiences of those who had similar procedure done. I try to do some upper body workout, but still while sitting with one leg up.

I am falling apart from lying on the same position all day and twisting in order to use my laptop.

I massage my leg with gel for swellings, and with oil to stimulate some blood circulation.

I eat all the foods rich in minerals and vitamins needed for bone growth.

I have a boot, I keep my leg elevated most of the day, and I use crutches to get around the house.

These numb sport border very painful spots, a very strange and unnatural feeling.

I have several completely numb spots on my leg, around the fracture and incision points.

The puncture point is still bleeding from time to time and painful.

The incisions around my knee are closed up and clean, still sore, and the incision around the puncture are still bloody and very painful.

The muscles on the entire leg atrophied and it is so weak, I have to move it with my arms.

The pain is better, but still hurts at the point of fracture and in the knee.

My current situation (7 weeks after surgery): I am now almost 7 weeks into this, and no PT has been prescribed to me yet, they said I wasn’t ready. They basically took an X Ray, and both times there was no bone growth, so they just sent me home and told me to elevate and ice the leg, and come back in a month. Since the surgery, I saw an orthopedic PA at Kaiser only 2 times, once a week after the surgery, and once a month later. We went back to Bay Area, to my Kaiser Permanente insurance. I was released from the hospital the next day. They explained the procedure as routine with 100% recovery. They made an incision above my knee and inserted the rod through the knee. I had an emergency surgery that evening in South Lake Tahoe, they installed a 315mm titanium rod in my tibia and fastened it with 3 screws.

They broke inside my boot, close to my ankle. I had a ski accident on Feb 25th 2018 that resulted in compound fracture of tibia and fibula.
