But it won't hurt to start using it now.<br /><br />Yes, I was cleared to run when the podiatrist saw a callus on the x-ray.<br /><br />After you get out of the boot, I would definitely start with walking, even if you're cleared to run right away. I also found that doing stuff like one legged balance exercises helped with my recovery.AKA Darkwave, AKA Anarcha, AKA Cris.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09873516028463495708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-16724983129973417722013-11-11T04:58:51.899-08:002013-11-11T04:58:51.899-08:00Hi again.

I am going into my 5th week, I suppose it's never too late to start. did you use yours from day one? I go back to podiatrist this week and I guess will get an xray. did you dr. take an xray to tell you that your fracture was healing? from you blog, it said you healed by7 weeks - I doubt that will happen to me so I am not sure what I am looking at in terms of starting to weight bear. the boot is just so awkward. swimming laps without touching the wall is starting to get to me!!! I appreciate your blog and I am going to try to use your comeback schedule as a guide. thanks for posting. I only hope the xray shows some callus formation. thanks for any adviceVAGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753941504714811712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-7177035578543398302011-05-20T16:11:31.315-07:002011-05-20T16:11:31.315-07:00I stalked your log when I was coming back to get a...I stalked your log when I was coming back to get an idea of what was safe. I came back even slower, but I was never running your kind of mileage to begin with.this post will definitely be helpful for others, and I am s glad you are injury free!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-39051523625203070292011-05-20T09:50:49.856-07:002011-05-20T09:50:49.856-07:00This is great, people coming back from an injury a...This is great, people coming back from an injury are going to love seeing an example!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-37726453910376924902011-05-20T09:18:23.586-07:002011-05-20T09:18:23.586-07:00Actually, we're a lot past there -- this ends ...Actually, we're a lot past there -- this ends in late March. <br /><br />I stopped this reprise at the first time I did a cool-down jog on the track, post workout. It's at that point that I think I reached my personal variant of normal, and could be considered to have "returned", even if I wasn't yet fully fit.AKA Darkwave, AKA Anarcha, AKA Cris.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09873516028463495708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3415039431326089985.post-9405173972844117092011-05-20T07:16:06.655-07:002011-05-20T07:16:06.655-07:00Wow, are we already at week 15?!?
