I'm 10 wks post op with some S&P (screws and plates) and I have very limited dorsiflexion and can't walk without a crutch/cane. My surgeon was very surprised I'm not walking yet and said if I can't dorsiflex normally at 6 months then that's all the mobility I'll get and I'll have to have a surgery where they weaken the tendon that takes even longer to heal from! I've started doing my PT exercises 5-6x a day with varying degrees of intensity depending on pain/swelling. I'm STRESSED!
