calf muscle

(5 discussions)

Was in my tae kwon do class and was doing a kick where I step in and all of my weight is on left leg. As soon as this happened It felt like someone hit my calf with a ball bat.
It first almost felt like a trolly horse, but when that sensation was gone my calf was extremely stiff and sore.
This happened on Wed. it is now Sat. and it doesn’t seem to be improving, and I noticed that my leg is somewhat swelled down to my ankle, and the calf is now showing some bruising. Do you think it is only a pulled muscle or something else.

(2 discussions)

Hello,
I recently broke the 5th metatarsal in my left foot.
The bone was broken in such an odd way, they did surgery a few days after I broke it.My question is, Do you suppose this will heal properly or can I expect problems the rest of my life with it.
I had to have 5 screws and a plate to repair this bone. Please help!

broken patella

(2 discussions)

I had surgery to repair a broken patella on dec.14 The bottom portion of my kneecap broke off. The bottom portion of my kneecap was too little to put a screw in it. So the doctor threw it away and reattached my tendons using a metal sheath. In order for me to rehabilitate my left knee I have been doing quadricep lifts,riding a bike, and playing”very-very”light games of basketball.
What else could I do inorder to strengthen my knee. So that I could get back to playing basketball 7 days a week.

Recovering from a broken ankle

Hi All, I broke my fibula on July 6, 2016 – it’s a spiral fracture of the tibula with some torn ligaments to boot. I had surgery on July 15th – 2 mteal screws placed in ankle. After having plaster cast on for 10 days – I went back to the doctor and he said I must keep the cast on until August 29th – which will be about 6.5 weeks total.I’m a very active person and want to do everything I possibly can to rehab quickly. Should I look into getting the plaster cast off sooner and go with fiberglass or an air cast to start physio? Or am I getting too anxious? I’ve been doing some ankle movements (drawing the alphabet with my big toe) to try and strengthen the ankle.Should I seek a second opinion from another doctor. Anyone have similar experiences?thanks!

Ruptured Achilles Tendon

(2 discussions)

Hi there, I ruptured my achilles tendon in left leg playing football on 06/06/07.This occured in the last 5 minutes of the game as I went to push off on my left foot. I am not as conditioned or as fit as I should be due to inactivity and weight gain.However I have recently lost a lot of weight in short space of time an started cycling,badminton an playing football.My doctor talked me into non-surgery but now I am having doubts and becoming stressed. I do not wish for a re-rupture (who does??)and want to return to some physical excercise though in no hurry.Will look to enlist physio as soon as I can start therapy

Top of Foot hurts

I don’t recall doing anything, but I was playing volleyball when the pain started.
My foot hurts on the top of my foot if I press on it, but the pain comes through the arch/ball of my foot (underneath) when I walk.
It doesn’t hurt if I walk on the outside of my foot.
Any ideas?
