has anyone got any physio addvice for me?

[crispycake]

I just came out of my leg cast yesterday after being in it for 19 weeks.
I have to wait a week to go for physio so has anyone got any exercises i can start to do in the mean time?

19 weeks! Yikes!!

DS had a full length cast on for 9 weeks, so trying to remember what he did...

I think the first steps were sitting on a bed/sofa with a pillow under knee, pushing knee down to raise lower leg.

Then trying to raise the straight leg up off the bed.

As he was growing, he had to do achilles stretching as his tendon almost tore once he started moving around again.

Just gentle bending & stretching really - in the bath was a good start.

Don't rush things after such a long time immobile. Wait for the professionals and take care

thank you milliways

I know its a very long time!
I was in a full leg cast too but only for 5 weeks and since then ive been in a below the knee one, where i was able to abit of weight on it.
As soon as i came home yesterday i had a bath and another today, and its made such a difference allready especially to the ankle.
I cant get any of my shoes or boots on though i tried for about 1hr before
