Ankle ligament repair

[vickster]

It’s a year since my ankle double ligament repair (and 8 months since subsequent knee op).
I’m just shy of 2400 outdoor miles for the year (well pretty much 7 months as only really went outside at end May). Weather (and time) permitting, I should get to 2500 for the year I managed 90 miles on 🦄 last week
Also swimming/doing hydrotherapy twice a week, and occasional visits to the gym (need to up those in new year but I’d rather cycle if weather ok)

Different injury and not as bad, I chipped an ankle bone and strained the ligaments in a hockey incident. Been back on the bike for about a month and initially umpired, and then played a game of hockey for first time last weekend, all with no real ill effects. Infact it feels better after i have done something on it. I have been doing movement a stretching exercises with it once I got to the appropriate stage.

However I still find its "a bit stiff" and I can feel a slight pull on certain direction stretches. Do / did you find than @vickster I'm sort of hoping that it should just go with time

Mine is still very stiff but at least stable and broadly pain free.
I already had minimal dorsiflexion in my ankles due I believe to foot shape (very high arches) and very tight calf muscles, this has probably made it worse, but wasn’t the cause.
I should be better at doing physio but after years of it for various reasons, I have rehab fatigue. Going to the pool does help

2515 miles as of today, should do about 30 tomorrow so target met
