So it finally happened broke my leg at a race 2 weekends ago. Got unlucky lost my line and stuck my foot inbetween 2 trees on the side of the trail. After a week of pain and being in a cast I got a titanium rod inserted to hold me together. Has anyone had the surgery and know how long it takes to recover from? I've been out of work a week and already scared about losing my funds/ and accounts. Just need to walk I'll figure out the rest?
Given the rod you got things look good for a shorter recovery. Drink plenty of water, take your meds before you are in pain and do not over do it on the early weeks. You can push it in rehab but listen to your ortho. Sorry you are having to deal with this.
Don't carry ANYTHING until you've been off your crutches for awhile. I made the mistake of just carry a few grocery items up my stairs today I got off my crutches . Bad move. I woke up the next morning IN agony and had to use my crutches for 2 more weeks. Not fun after thinking I was finished with my crutches.
