After walking, I felt pain in my knee and ankle and didn't walk for more than 10 minutes at a time because I wasn't putting full weight on my leg, causing my arm to start hurting. To relieve ankle stiffness, I soaked my leg in warm water twice before walking. Sometimes, I took painkillers when the pain was too intense.
I started more upper limb strenghtening for more support
I needed to check my callus progress, so I went for an X-ray.

According to my last X-ray report and callus condition, the doctor allowed me to start walking with crutches. Initially, it felt incredibly difficult as walking with crutches required good balance, and more weight was transferred to my leg compared to using a walker.
At the beginning, I experienced significant knee and ankle pain. But gradually, the pain started to reduce. Over time, I was able to walk for 25 to 30 minutes twice a day.
After 20 days walked on crutches I can do balance and walk properly on crutches. The pain in my knee and ankle gradually reduced after walking, although I still felt stiffness in the mornings. This made it difficult to walk properly at first, but with time and patience, the morning stiffness eventually lessened. Each day , felt motivated and good to saw myself for improvement in my walk.
the callus on my leg was forming well, and I could balance properly while walking on crutches. Seeing my progress, the doctor allowed me to use just one crutch, opposite my weak leg, which enabled me to put more weight on it and walk more efficiently.
I began practicing to balance and walk with just one crutch. It was challenging at first, but gradually, I adapted and grew more confident

As I had shared earlier, my last X-ray showed that the callus had formed well, and I could balance properly. The doctor allowed me to walk without support, giving me the green light to start walking independently. I began with a 10-minute walk without support.
Initially, I had a little fear of falling, so my physiotherapist walked beside me for precaution. Despite the initial anxiety, it was a moment of immense happiness and enthusiasm.
Although there was a slight limp while walking, which seemed a bit awkward, I knew I would soon overcome it. To celebrate this milestone, I treated my rehabilitation friends, who had motivated me and given me positive energy throughout my journey.
