Lifting after broken ankle surgery

[edjohnson]

Wondering if there is anyone on these boards who has had experience with this. Two years ago i had to get 6 screws and a plate put on the left side of my ankle and one on the right side of the same ankle. A year after the surgery it was feeling much better than what it feels like today.

I am wondering if my progress in the gym is aggravating it. I was told by my doc during my last couple visits that taking the screws out doesnt really do anything post op. But i swear it feels like the screw on the right inside of my ankle is poking something. I am wondering if the heavy weight I have been moving over the past year has made the screws move around a bit.

Was the plate designed to LRFD or ASD standards? Which version of ASCE 7 was used to develop the loading criteria? Was the lateral resisting system designed assuming rigid or flexible diaphragms?

I dunno I'm bored at work. Hope someone can help.

Wat? I wish I knew...

All I know is that it was done by a well known surgeon in los angeles

Structural engineering joke. Ignore me. I get delirious after staring at building modeling software for nine hours.

1. These days there’s no difference. More than likely, FEM was involved.
2. Whatever the Code says.
3. It depends on the amount of plan eccentricity.

And yet people furiously argue about which methodology is better. It's astounding. "Six!" "No, half a dozen!" "It's six, you idiot!"

Ya. Very motivational. My injury is not as serious as his and much different in nature.

Injuries may not be the same but there’s a possibility of your ankle responding to the stress, recovery, adaptation cycle in a similar manner and “rejecting” the hardware.
