    had the fusion 6 weeks ago, and cast off and my second day in a moonboot, I HATE it!! I feel more comfortable without, but worried as surgeon says could snap screws, etc. Im a keen cyclist and have been depressed as with the cast on I felt quite good, when it came off I feel vulnerable? and worried to put any pressure. Maybe its just too soon? I wanted to be the guy who healed super quick and was back on the bike. Did you find it hard when the cast came off? Im quite depressed with this infinity

    Thank you for making these videos. It is helpful. I have a question for you: I am 15 weeks post-surgery. I started walking without the boot 10 weeks after surgery. I wonder, for how long do we still feel pain? I am walking with the support of 1/2 crutch, but I still feel pain. How long after surgery did you stop feeling pain while walking?Thanks

    Hi buddy thanks for all the blogs, I’m so nervous I have a ankle fusion schedule next month. I’ve had four surgeries to repair my ankle from a traumatic accident at work I had a 9000 beam flip off a trailer and land right on my ankle crushing it. I’m blessed that I I still have my ankle but I am very concerned about ankle fusion. I’ve heard some horrible stories that the pain you go through after an ankle fusion.

    Thanks for the post, had my right ankle fused after a van pulled out in front of my motorbike. Week 4 atm so not much going on other than rest. Slight complication, paralysis of big toe for upwards movement, this is unstable and causes the most of my current issues as the toe just hands, it’s numb and feels hideous.. Personally, I just need to focus on being able to ride again. Great videos, thanks for posting.

He is a paraglider and hikes upwards of 500m plus vertical to get to launch. Im looking into getting my right fused so I had all the same questions.

    Hi, So glad to have found your great video's as I'm due in for op in Sept. Fantastic to hear your views and experience on cycling as that is my life at the moment as I can hardly walk due to the pain. Can't stand up for long on bike for hills etc so have had to lower gearing etc but I'm optimistic now that I will be in a better position post op than before. Noticed your HOKA trainers in one of the other vids, are these rocker shoes? Do these help on your fused ankle or are normal shoes ok? Have to wear safety shoes in work so I can see this being an issue but I suppose until it's all healed I won't know for sure as we are all different. Hope your recovery is still going well.

    It’s been 6 weeks post op. due to have cast off on 28 th March 2022 .really looking forward to that.it’s suprising how much you can and can’t do with the use of only one leg but I’m managing quite well. I’ve put no weight at all on the right leg so I’ve been a good boy so hopefully the X-ray will show I’m making good progress. I’ve found that your videos have been more informative than any others I’ve come across on TH-cam and look forward to your next one. Thanks very much.

    Re cycling, I had a left ankle fusion seven years ago and like you I found it didn't cause any problems at all with cycling. The pedal just rotates to suit the changed rotation in the ankle. I have just had my right ankle fused and am on the exercise bike as part of my weight bearing recovery process (with a moon boot). I find it good because I can adjust the pedal resistance to suit.
