Mom, Sorry no squeezing feeling for me but that is not to say that is not good as clearly everyones recovery is different, especially when it comes to time scales. Kate, good to hear about your recovery following a nerve graft. I know what you mean about the occasional toe trip - I also still occasi...

Hello All, just catching up with all your posts and pleased to see old and new friends here. I had a NCS abd EMG. The sural nerve was being naughy and hiding so had to be stimulated by rubbing it to see if it would show itself. I dont think it is much of a problem though as that nerve only does sens...

Thank you all for your wonderful messages. Please never give up hope - I think at times I did, no I know at times I did and wondered whether all this would ever get better. Mom - in answer to your question I have to say that this started in April 2006 - I have had two operations and differing degree...

Just wanting to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy New Year. I see the neurologist early next month. I have made amazing improvements having had a real slow start. I have my final physio appointment tomorrow. In a way I feel somewhat dunted by the fact i am on my own now but I am sure that wil...

Hamish excellent news but please be careful as you dont want to undo all the good work! I call my toe off splint Ethal and I have broken two in 18 months well broke one within two weeks but I think it was a manufacturing fault and the other wore out so I think that is just something that happens - o...

Hello All, So sorry about the very long delay but i have been back into rehab away from home and very inyensive - good news is that i am getting stronger and off crutches and on sticks outside only now. Bad news is I have a splint for both feet at the moment although the other leg is moving and has ...

mom,
My prayers are with you.
I had and still have hydrotherapy - not sure it particular helps with stopping muscle atrophy but did help with the circulation issues that also occur with peroneal palsy. Not able to offer any alternatives though, sorry

with every blessing

Hello All, Also a quick sign in - I have just completed another 12 day stint at a rehab centre and due to return in three weeks time so just have enough time to settle at home before I am off again. The lost movement in my floppy foot after being bed bound for so long is slowly returning back to nor...

I am at the afters stage and making good leg progress. I have a perfectly straight leg and consequently a perfectly behaving knee cap and so no more pain. Not easy surgery but well worth it if in pain.

Hi everyone, Thanks to you all for your kind wishes and I will no doubt be back in full swing again soon. Good news is - I have actually ained some weight this week - I lost just over a stone in weight and really didn't have it to lose I have now put on a couple of pounds so that is going in the rig...

Hello All, I am so sorry I have not been on line for such a long time - after I last posted I said I had an infection - well I had a real bad infection and it literally knocked me off my feet and confined me back to bed. Consequently I have alot of muscle wastage on both legs and now really have som...

Hello, Thanks Mom for your prayers. Gordon - I do still wear an AFO called a 'toe off' splint especially while non weightbearing and on crutches. Just prior to the op I was padding around the house with no AFO as I preferred to flop about. I have noticed that the foot has got lazy again being in bed...

Hello All, Well I am finally home - 7 weeks and 3 days later (I have so milked this!) - saw the surgeon today and he is pleased with the scar and rotation on the left leg. The bone is showing signs of healing and suffiecient to be out of plaster as I have a plaster sore that is being very stubborn. ...

Hi Guys, Well this is definately the best day I have felt - the swelling in my leg and foot have subsided to a comfortable level and I am at very long last mobilising on crutches over short distances. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts as it is a great comfort that to know you are not alone...

Hi Guys,

Thanks all for your blessings - I have been back in hospital - I won't bore you all with it all now as I still feel very weak and has nothing to do with peroneal nerves. I hope you are all well and still making progress. God Bless
