In an accident a piece of glass cut my Tendo was cut, Within 3 hours after a surgery its repaired. And to stop movement of leg doctors put plaster on my whole leg,After one month they remove the Plaster and ask for complete rest, after 45 days they start physio therapy, Now Its 53 days I can move with the help of stick,And i can put my 50% weight,My total weight is nearly 68 kga.\nI want to know after How much time I can put my whole weight on my leg, Is have any risk of broke the tendon by weight,  Mostly How much time it tae to recover and which vitamins or minerals are suitable for prompt and early recovery

Since tendons have a decent blood supply, they'll take a while, but not too long, to recover. I'd say in about 4-6 more weeks you'll be completely recovered.\n\nThere's no risk of breaking the tendon by weight, but you could collapse against it and fall and break something else. Or, if during the surgery, they stitched it, by putting weight on it you could break the stitches. Just don't put weight on it.\n\nNo real vitamins help, but if you'd want real help on that, go see your doctor or a nutrition specialist. I don't think that vitamins will really help tendons though.\n\nWhatever happens, just remember to take the time recovering. Don't try to rush yourself. I did that when i broke my leg in 5 places at once, and since then, my leg hasn't been perfect.

Dynamic splinting after flexor tendon injuries of the hand in childhood]\n\n[Article in German]\n\nFasching G, Schmidt B, Friedrich H, Mayr J.\n\nKinderchirurgischen Abteilung, Preyersches Kinderspital, Wien.\n\nNinety severed flexor tendons were repaired in 24 boys and 14 girls in a four-year-period at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Graz. Mean age was 4.9 years. In 16 patients (42%) additional lesions were found. Direct repair was performed with modified techniques of Kirchmayr (23) or Kleinert (8). In four fingers, flexor tendon reconstructions were carried out. Postoperatively, the dynamic Kleinert splint was used for early nonresistive motion, beginning on average on the second postoperative day. Intensive training of motion was performed in physiotherapeutic sessions during a mean period of five months, postoperatively. In five cases tenolysis was performed; in one case a rupture of a sutured tendon had to be corrected. 27 patients (71%) with 42 injured fingers were followed-up on average 2.7 years after the operation. In accordance with the Buck-Gramcko classification, very good results were achieved in 37 cases (88%), and a poor result in one patient (2%). Atraumatic technique, dynamic splinting, consequent physiotherapeutic training by experienced physiotherapists, and well informed parents will yield excellent results after flexor tendon repair in the paediatric age group.\n\nPMID: 9746876 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] \n==================================================\n\nI read this and other pubmed articles on your condition and it seems to me that the younger you are, the better your chances of not having complications. Also, the splinting and stitch type is important. In all tendon repair, the zig zag cut with cross stitch seems prefered and the scaring is the main complication. Physical therapy to reduce and stretch scaring is as vital as finding the right doctor for the operation. \n\nIf you choose not to have the operation, you can reduce your pain with physical therapy such as strengh training, and my favorite, nerve stimulation. Get a shoe box and fill it with rice, dry beans, bean bag beads or other small rounded material and run the injured hand through it for about five minutes three times a day. This increases the blood flow and stimulates the nerves. Its a good way to relax arthritic hands too.\n\nThe tendons in your hand have little room for blood flow to aid healing. Hot parafin wax treatments help greatly to aid the opening of small capillaries.\n\nI injured my hand in a fall about 6 years ago and still have stiffness even after doing all of the above for a very long time. But then again, I am much older and have other ailments that interfere with my healing process.\n\nGood luck in what ever you decide to do.

I am not an expert but when my foot hurt like that it turned black and I had to wear a cast on my leg for 6-8 weeks. It turned out I had not only pulled one tendon but I had also tore one or two tendons on top of that. This happened a year ago when I was in the sixth grade. If it continues to hurt I would consult a physician. I hope your foot gets better and notify me to tell me what is actually wrong with it. It could be what happened to my foot but there are some other possibilities. Again hope you get better!!!

i had surgery five years ago on my back they took out a dis and replaced it with a bone. and it went well. though i still have back pain,but not do to the bone replacement,because of something else. I healed fine and was able to get up and move around within two weeks. best of luck. with your surgery. I;m sure it will be fine.

Make sure you use the pressure garment. The last thing you need is a emobolism. (clot that will move through body and to heart or brain. Then you are "bye bye" forever.) The swelling will probably last a few weeks. As long as no drainage, pus, or red inflammation you should do well. Go to the docs on the scheduled follow up days and whatever you do....FOLLOW THEIR GUIDANCE. If they say, keep elevated...you do that. If they say do not walk onto flat of foot...you do that.  Trust me, listening to their expert advice will enable you to heal faster. Take care.

I say you should go to a doctor and i agree with that guy that you should take an x-ray of your foot;and sister....I know how much it must be paining coz these sort of incidents were also experienced by me.Once a whole tire came on my foot and my whole right thigh was bleeding but it wasn`t a fracture coz my father pushed me due to which his hand got fractured and once i got ingured by the sharp edge of a sofa and guess what,not only my skin got peeled of but a piece of wood from the sofa broke as well it was 5 years ago but the skin did not grow there and the mark is still there.Hope you don`t get injured like me(sob).sorry for such a long answer!

Muscle mass in your thigh is not capable of providing support to the structures in your knee.\n\n(the knee bones can be seen and felt because they are not surrounded by other structures)\n\nMuscular size is only available by working the muscle VERY hard (total exhaustion (ie failure to complete the movement) in less than 20 (ideally, less than 10) repetitions)\nand allowing long periods (2-3 days between sessions) of recovery time before working the same bodypart again. Diet can help, but high protein intake is unnecessary; most of the extra bulk is made up of increased fuel storage within the muscle.\n\nIf you have any knee instability YOU SHOULD NOT DO HEAVY WORK WITH THE LEG.\n\nThe knee is stabilised by LIGAMENTS, which hold the bones in their proper relationship. These can become overstretched, and they CAN repair themselves, but it is a very long process. Hard training can cause or exacerbate damage to ligaments.\n\nWhile the ligaments are weak or distorted, the joint will benefit from other forms of support. The tendons surrounding the joint can supply this support IF THE MUSCLES ABOVE AND BELOW THE KNEE ARE PROPERLY BALANCED. Their size is irrelevant.\n\nA recovery programme should include exercises that increase strength and local muscle endurance for ALL muscle groups above and below the knee. These exercises will be moderate in intensity, and will emphasise cooperation between muscle groups. Isolation exercises (which target particular muscle groups) can be included, if special care is taken to balance the work, for example including equally demanding outer and inner thigh work.\n\nThe correct intensity will also allow the TENDONS (which connect muscles to bones and GAIN STRENGTH MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN MUSCLES DO) to get stronger and operate more supportively.\n\nYou need to get specialised advice from a physiotherapist as to whether you should be working to stabilise the knee, or adding mass to your thighs. You should also consider using a wrap, soft brace or articulated brace while the knee is 'weak'.

I'd recommend that you ask your physical therapist for advice. I haven't had surgery, but ripped the tendons in both knees before fencing and had to go to phys therapy for months. I'm sure there are certain yoga patterns that you can do, but not others. My guess is that you need to build strength, but carefully. My therapist gave me workout sheets to take home. While you're on limited exercise, you might want to reduce your calorie intake so that you don't gain weight.

yes, that sounds like the right thing to do. ice on and off 20 minute intervals, elevate, stay off it for a while, u know- all that stuff. if the problem persists, consult a physician.\nit doesnt sound like u really did anything significantly damaging to ur knee from ur description, like i doubt u tore anything, because u experienced no pain right away. it sounds like it may be a bone bruise around ur patella, or something along those lines.\nu probably should see a doctor if it keeps hurting, or just to be on the safe side, yknow? but i wouldnt be too worried, it doesnt sound terrible

speaking from experience..i broke my leg in 2 place and my wrist in 9 during the same accident.I was out of work for 6 months..i waited and rested as told but also kept stretching and flexing my foot and hand to keep things in motion. if you have had it immobilized for this entire time it will take some rehab.. you may also look at the possibility that your hooked on your pain meds. they will trick your brain into thinking your in pain just so you'll take more. Be careful and good luck

How long is the recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery?\nThis will depend on several factors, including your level of strength before the fall and the severity of the rotator cuff tear or sprain.  physical therapy begins. Initially, the therapy is gentle so as not to affect the rotator cuff repair. After four to six weeks, more active lifting with the arm begins. Several months after the rotator cuff repair, physical therapy will become more intense in an effort to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. Complete recovery usually requires at least four to six months. \n\nThis is more so if you've had surgery which you have not. I'm going to give a link on Rotator Cuff's and let you read it. Hope you start hockey again soon. Good Luck!

rest and let it heal - absolutely nothing else except time can fix this. 6 weeks of low or no leg work

While it may only be a tendon or ligament that has partially broke, I would still go get checked out by a doctor only because if it is something terrible, it is better to find out early and receive proper medical care.\n\nEspecially where it is located, you wouldn't want to have it hurt you the rest of your life or in old age if it could have been avoided with a simple visit. \n\nI assume the doctor will tell you to stay off it and let it heal, but you never know if more is needed.

Nerve damage! if your nerves got severed and were reattached, you need to keep doing the Physical therapy you did at the sessions. It has to be a constant thing.If it is painful, remember that whilst the nerves are still healing , it will hurt. If this was a recent accident please DO NOT rest your hand for extensive periods of time thinking that your hand will heal and be better, it is the complete opposite and your hand will become immobile for sure from not moving.Compare it to an ungreased bycicle chain, you hear it creaking,squeaking because it wasn't greased and it doesn't want to go anywhere.That is why you want to keep your fingers and hand moving as much as you can. Get a remote and do finger pressing excersising, from the top button all the way down. Do this every half hour while you are awake. Are you wearing a hand brace? Something that keeps your hand tight, it's an elastic thing.Try not to wear it too much.\nOpen and close your fist as much as you can, same as the finger excersices. If you have no open wounds on your hands, try using a few drops of pepermint oil with a base of avocado oil (Bath and body works) and rub it on your hands, it should really help with your numbness as the pepermint oil gets your nerves reacting, and it penetrates.\nIf you can't move the fingers willingly, move each finger up and down and flex them with the help of your other hand and fingers. Don't let the hand get lazy.Keep it moving.Nerves will regenerate and they will pick up where they left off if you keep them busy and functioning. Keep the idea of the ungreased bycicle chain in your head and move your hand and use it so it doesn't stop working.Don't become unmotivated or lazy. Do things as normal. Even if your hand is in pain, do things, it's because your nerves are trying to repair themselves that they hurt and it feels like shooting pain.So the more you move, the better it will be. I cannot say that enough.

Normally one returns to work with "light duties" in order to completely heal. There is no benefit in hurrying things along and then going off work because of recurring injury.\n   Ask your doctor for light duties and get some physiotherapy. Don't forget that the damage you do to your body will be with you forever, long after you've changed jobs, and nobody will think that you were a hero for having worked a job that physically was too much for you.

Hi well i actually done the same thing about 7 years ago while holding my daughter.I tore the lateral main ligament straight off my ankle.I was in a cast for 6 wks,came out that didnt help.Had physio for 3 mths thats didnt help.My foot was still giving away a lot by now so i was put on the waiting list for a operation.It involved stapling the main ligament bck on to my lateral side off my ankle,a cast for 6 wks,physio after.7 years on i dodnt really have no problems at all with my ankle,i get some aching in that area thats all.The consultant may want to do some sort off operation on your foot,as once you have torn your ligaments and you ankle is giving away the only option is a operation,i went through it all and nothing helped part from surgery.Good Luck anyway.

I have torn my left ACL...waited until December to have surgery. Which I am thankful I did because my knee isn't giving out anymore. Every person heals and recoops differently, so it's hard to say exactly what you are looking for but I can give you an idea. Whatever you do, do not let your knee get stiff...it will take ten times longer to get back into the swing of things. Like a week after my surgery I started PT...slowly but then finished within a few months. My muscles weren't building up so mine took a bit longer. April is looking good for you, but like I said everyone is different. The surgery is very painful but it is worth it if you don't want to keep falling from an unstable knee. Also, make sure you do the home excersises that PT gives you...it will help greatly. Hope this helps
