So today at physical therapy, my son's therapist said it would probably take about 2 years to regain full muscle strength. That was kind of a shocker for both of us. I'm so grateful he will eventually get there, I was just so surprised at the time frame she expected. I'm hoping she's overestimating!

But it made me wonder, for those who have been able to regain some degree of function, what have you found to be the best ways to relieve muscle pain and help the process along? He's taking things gently and slowly because his foot is still very sensitive to weight bearing, using crutches to assist walking a little bit, etc.

Thanks!
