Walking

41 days of healing. I walked 3km or so with Annabel with no pain in the area of the repairing bone today. At about a kilometre I had a dull sensation in the region of the fracture that quickly faded. After that the only discomfort was from the cast flexing and crushing my toes and banging against my heel.

I've been walking for 20-45 minutes 2 or 3 times a week for the last few weeks and the foot has been feeling fine. My consultant said the pain would let me know when I was doing too much. We all know how important mechanical loading is to bone functional adaptation, right?
