Yes I can walk. Not really a limp but my stride has definitely changed, my leg is slightly curved like a hunting bow. It happened wake boarding. 4 surgeries on right leg in less then 2 years. Two of the surgeries were 12 weeks non weight bearing. After the tendon transfer I was back wake surfing, and able to flips on trampoline within 4 months, but never will be 100% again. Its permanent damage, doctor just robbed Peter to pay Paul with tendon transfer. Tear was to big to do a graph according to the neurologist that did the exploratory surgery to find the nerve actually torn (shown in pic).

Can you jog? Just curious. He told me there was a 50/50 chance that I would be able to run again. I don't have to job but I do like being able to chase after my grandson when he wrecks. At 43 I could still haul ass for 75-100 yards to help him out if needed. I would really love to be able to retain that ability!!

Yes I can run, but I'm not setting any records. I can still do backflips on trampoline, wakeboard, wake surf, but nothing to my full athletic to my full capability. It definitely slowed me down some, but I would never let it defeat me.

How old are you if you don't mind my asking?

Find Lee Ramage and ask him his opinion. Tell him a real estate guy from downtown San Diego referred you.

Never heard of him? Quick search says he was Ian Trettle manager and he was working with Ryan Morias on some electromagnetic training? What does he do?

I'm 31, injury happened at 29. I did have to wear a afo brace before the tendon transfer and a month or so following tendon transfer. I purchase a custom fitted Noodle afo through a orthotic and prosthetic doctor. I was even able to run in the afo before the tendon transfer, but that thing would have sucked to wear my entire life which is why I decided to do the tendon transfer. This was a major obstacle in life for me, and still is. Most people don't understand the debilitating scope of a severe nerve injury.
