Re-assessment
Mar. 12th, 2007 04:24 pmWell, I have good news, and I news.
Good news is that there has been heaps of improvement. Sensory loss is less. Instead of running from hip to toes, it's from mid calf to outside of foot. Quad strength has really gotten up there. And still have not hit the end of the improvements. There will be more.
The 'news': It seems the reason I keep getting a swollen ankle/foot is because since I don't quite have all sensation back in leg/foot, I am not aware of straining or over extending the foot. Rolling outwards and putting too much strain on the ankle and tendons, causing 'micro sprains'. Have a new ankle support to wear when I am doing any athletic activities or long time standing. Also have this inflatable disk for strengthening the small muscles in the ankle and foot.
