[arock1]

I recently broke my foot i currently have a plate and 7 pins in there and am just wondering if anyone has some good ideas for rehab on that it has been about 2 1/2 months since this has happened and been walking for about 2 weeks now but dont have full flex yet so wondering what anyone would do to recover faster. any input helpful thanks.

Lifranc injury?

it was a solid break in half.

Is this who I think it is....do you have a dog named gunner?

Well first things first you gotta get that broken plate outta there ya goon! Haha, but hey check out the education on diff peptides. Descriptions are pretty darn good and one might jump out at you for what stage of healing and pain you are in.

I think I agree the plate does need to go but have been reading a lot on what others have done with same stuff.

[AdrenalineJunkie]

Same stuff? Are you referring to the plate/pins, the break, the rehab??? Im not following you.... anyways, what have you seen?

[arock1]

As far as the flex in my foot the plate needs to go which is causing swelling. I have heard a lot of people say a yoga band half hour a day will help or at least moving it in a circle motion.

i just posted about my busted ankle a few days ago. although i am no longer going to rehab, the doc did tell me there are actually no muscles in ur foot all bone and tendon. try spelling the alphabet wih ur foot while watching tv or when u can. beware of tendonitis it will happen if u do too much too soon trust me i know. it will feel like u broke it again
