Mom - I read your post and really feel for you little girl, it is bad enough a adult having to deal with this but for a young child is just dreadful. I have a little girl, turning 2 on SaturdayLook forward to talking and hoping we all have full recovery stories in the future.Amanda
Hello and Welcome Amanda, The doctor that told you the three month story is full of sh**! I've talked to many specialists who claim that recovery is seen in some patients up to three years after the injury and one fellow I know saw a complete recovery at seven years. Therefore, never give up hope. I know those AFO's are terrible, I swear everyday I have to put mine on too. Keep your hopes up and don't be afraid to ask all the questions you may have, I'd love to answer them. Hopefully we can get throught this together and look back and shake our heads at how we worried when we didn't have to.
my knee test i passed with just a small deficit in power in my injured leg...nothing to bad as im only 7 months post acl surgery. my foot on the other hand was much weaker then the right. my inversion was about 40 percent weaker in the left......eversion about 60.....dorsi flexion 80 but my plantar flexion in the left was 50 percent sronger then the right ......i was told this was my body compensating for the weaker dorsi flexion...as i use ..my push off and momentum to spring my foot up with the weak "tib ant" muscle. these test were all done under load and with endurance repitions of 20-30...and endurance was stable for the ankle just a strength comparison issue. i am still working hard to correct every aspect of this injury to the best of my ability....but it is functional and capable of handling the demand of high intensity sport.i will keep you posted on the draft. Keep recovering Everyone and i have posted a segment that will be aired on The Score about the injury for draft time.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-10DQiu0Hw
