60 minutes on the recumbent exercise bike, level 3, interval program, 19.6 miles. The bike is really working the glutes and quads, but not so much the hamstrings and especially not the calves. Foot swelling has subsided from balloon level but is still substantial. Good planarflexion, dorsiflexion merely okay, and inversion/eversion poor. Pain in the perioneal tendons along the leg, around the ankle and into the foot. No looseness in the ankle ligaments but the ankle overall is tight. Went to the doctor today and despite my aversion to pain meds, he convinced me to try 10 days ibuprofin regime to knock down the inflammation and to help "speed healing". Activities to pain tolerance, which becomes problematic once the ibuprofin kicks in and the foot feels "better". One day at a time.... |
