If need be, I've a distant in-law of sorts who's a podiatric surgeon in FL I could always beg and ask....

My last round of PT after given the GO after knee fracture lay up..I started walking in my Crocs...WHOEEE! I do NOT recommend that. AT ALL! It was the front of the ankles-the tendons and muscles that went into serious overdrive in terms of contraction pain upon use. Thera-bands on a regular basis and some versions of the exercises above helped...but it took about 7-12 days before I was not one yelping camper.

Do marble exercises for toe-tone too. I can't DO the toe-towell things my toes are too short! Of use? or do you need more?

BTW-OUCH and DOUBLE OUCH! That is a hurt almost as bad as the concrete-deep-fat fried nerves burning! It does not let up...ever. -j
