I had surgery on my right foot in March 06. I was on crutches for 3 months. I lost a significant amount of muscle in that leg (enough to see a big difference with the naked eye). I’ve recently started exercising and started to wonder if I should have gone through physical therapy. Is it too late to start now? And if I don’t/can’t start now, are there any tips on getting my legs back to the same size while I work out in the gym?

If i walk with my knees straight…with no bending at all, i’ve noticed a big difference even from yesterday. The pain that i had is almost gone.
But walking with knees straight is like limping and not normal.
When i attemp to walk normally, i feel weird sensation in the muslce/ligament area above the knee cap, kind of like the Quad muslce. It’s not just weird, it kind of feels like really weird and so i dont feel like i should walk.
Should i keep walking with knees straight so that i dnot cause more damage or should i try to walk normally even if it feels really weird as if my ligament get tied up?
Orthopedic said my knee is stable, he did tell me to go to physical therapy. So that’s what i will do but i was wondering why pain is diminishing but the weird sensation is still there
I went today to get evaluated to begin going there for my shoulder that has been in great pain since last winter & I just found it really funny! I realize it’s because people are in pain & can’t get around to good BUT it’s just funny!!
I’m going to physical therapy for back pain due to a car accident I had in early November. They don’t really do anything for me other than have me use the treadmill and put heat packs. I’ve been for 4 visits and I still feel the same pain. Now they want to do an adjustment. Anyone heard of that? It sounds risky and I don’t know that they know what they’re doing. I can’t go anywhere else because it’s what my insurance pays for.
