Thank you all for your words. It has put me in the right mood to reclaim my life back with some hard work. I hope to update you on my progress in the coming weeks.


Good luck man. Rooting for you. Just remember that there is no shortcuts or life hacks to fix your dorsiflexion. You're gonna need months of hard work and dorsi exercise. No magic pill. Make up for your previous lack of effort, prove yourself now, today.

Quote from: Movie on June 06, 2020, 07:19:17 AMI second California2's last reply, there's no need for that over complicated device ... standing flat/slanted surface stretches will work you just have to be consistant.

Hi Athens
I think your current status is not too bad. But you have to work hard to improve your dorsiflexion. 
I completely agree with Movie and California2. I don't think that expensive device can help you more. It is you. You just need to stand on the slant board much more often and much longer. And Walk!! Walk!!

Regarding running, sorry that I have to say that it is pretty much not possible to run in 4 months with tibiae CLL.  I know one patient who did only tibia with stryde under Paley.  He is very athletic and diligent at working out.  Even after 1 year postop, he said he couldn't really run like sprint, although he can jog.  Some patients with femur cll can do a little better.  But overall running is hard within a year or so with nails inside.  I don't know what is the level of running you need.  Hopefully, it is not too demanding.

Good luck!!
