Cleared for FWB at 4 weeks
So I’ve been now cleared for full weight bearing after 4 weeks ORIF surgery for WEBER B fracture. I was given a list of exercises from physio which I do 6 times a day and they also showed me how to start progressively bear weight on it using crutches. They also clearly stated the surgeon is not concerned I’ll do any damage at all at this point by fully putting weight on.
Day 1 of exercises and the first attempt was very painful as very stiff, however bearing a little weight on has been absolutely fine apart from the pins and needles at the bottom of my foot!
Anyone else okayed for early weight bearing? What’s your experience been like?
