Physical Therapy Questions

I have a question that appears to be the opposite of J. Giles.
I had surgery for a ruptured tendon, and the operating surgeon moved.
I am at 10 weeks recovery now, and the new doctor has suggested that I can do light jogging, squats, and basically anything I want.
My foot is still swollen, which he says is normal.
I have not even been given any exercises for physical therapy yet.
Should I go back to running so quickly, or is it much too soon? Are there exercises I need to do first?
I play rugby and want to get back to the game, but I am very wary of reinjury–I can’t go through the surgery again! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Physical Therapy Questions

I think I might have “achilies tendon bursitis” or “achilies tendinitis”. My ankle hurts real bad on the tendon. I’ve got a slight lump at the base of my tendon. It won’t bend sometimes, it hurts to walk. I’ve tried stretching it but that only works for a little bit. Is there any thing else I can do for it? I stand and walk on my feet all day. Thank You.

Plica After surgery

Physical Therapy Questions

Hi, I am in Texas, but I live in Alabama so I cannot contact my doctor. I had surgery amost two weeks ago. They removed plica and fixed my thigh bone with a laser. I was doing fine and walking around great, then I went down a slide with my cousin and my knee bent up and since then I can barely walk on it. It hurts all through the back of my knee, and is swollen on the top(three times the size of my other knee). I can’t straighten it out all the way nor can I bend it hardly any. Is there anything that you can recommend me doing until I see my doctor. What do you think that I have done? Should I call my doctor immediately. Thanks for your help. Cheryii Burrow

Physical Therapy Questions

Hi,My son, who is 12, has been diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter disorder in the left knee. He is an elite jui jitsu athlete. Grappling and sparring require that he occasionally drop to one knee. Would a knee guard help? If so, what type should I get? Would physio help? In general, what can be done to reduce the swelling? Is this problem related to rapid growth? He has grown an inch a month recently and he weighs 110lb.Thanks,Catherine
