How Did It Happen?
During a jog I took a misstep and that's all it took for me to fracture the talus. Ouch. The worst pain I've ever felt.
How Was Your Recovery?
Months. They thought it would heal, but actually I needed surgery to remove a piece of bone that was not attaching - it was called a nonunion fracture. So after a whole year of pain, they took out the piece of bone and I recoverd within a few weeks.
Tips and Tricks
- I wish I didn't wait do long before insisting on more treatment, xrays and an mri to find the problem. It shouldn't take a year to heal a fracture!
How Long Was It Before You Returned to Sports?
After the final surgery, I was biking in a week, and walking in 2 and running in a month.
