scar tissue

519 Posts: 69 Joined: 2003/11/03	2004/08/09, 03:56 PM last winter i broke and fractured bones in my foot and did a number to my knee. i went to physio for a while, but quit after my knee recovered. now i am told that i have a foot with scar tissue all over it. does anyone know a way to help alleviate this? i was told yoga might help, and i try to keep my circulation up as best as possible, but nothing seems to be working. it makes it very difficult to do things liek squats, leg or calf presses
	2004/08/09, 04:34 PM My wife asked me the other day where a scar on my foot came from. I told her from surgery in 1968. I guess she had seen it before and forgot. We've been married for 24 years. The pain will go away a little faster. Your Dr should be able to give you a recovery estimate and suggest physical therapy. -------------- Waterskis with buffalo Charlie

(2-10 weeks) Im going to buy cruches, when i need to walk. No pressure should be placed on the foot with scar tissue. therefore, lunges is innapropriate.

The worst thing you could do is keep it stationary. Physical therapy is your best option. 519's appproach of writing the alphabet with his foot is actually a very good one along with t-babes exercises. I'd get a second opinion regarding your injury!!
