So I slipped on a wet golf course and spiral fractured my fibula. I still walked on it for about 20metres as I was not convinced it was fractured despite hearing the snapping sound as I thought breaking a bone would be more painful...I was told by ED I have a high pain threshold...
As it was a stable fracture, I fortunately did not need surgery!
So 5 weeks on I am in a moon boot and weight bearing on crutches. I am trying to wean myself from the crutches to walk with the boot only but..... my oh my... I forgot how to walk
.
My brain and legs refuse to work together and my self confidence took a nasty blow with this whole incident. SO SO scared to reinjure myself or have another fall...I get older people's fears about falls after this and have so much empathy and understanding now.
Anybody who can identify and give tips how to relearn to walk after 53 years of walking...
