I want to join the club ... reluctantly
Another unhappy member of the club here. Broke my Tib and Fib about 11 weeks ago on the NZ slopes. Tib in two places at top of boot and Fib in one place near top of bone. No fun.

Had the IM nail put in about 5 days post accident. Am now up and walking, have been for the past 3 weeks. So I had 6 weeks of non-weight bearing and 1 week walking with the aid of a crutch. I only had a cast on for 2 weeks, because of the nail, which was great; but leg looked like sh*t. Have been riding the stationary exercise bike and also walking laps and doing stretches/exercises in waist deep water. I find the water really good as I am able to walk more fluently. Can even do some squats in the water which feels good.
Would love to hear how the rehab is going (or has gone) for others. Ideas and tips are welcome.
Am also interested to hear any tips on boots post accident. Have heard that custom foam is the way to go after a break like this. Any thoughts???
Hope all are healing well ... cheers
