I had some nerve pain in my left foot but it disappeared. I don't take Lyrica anymore. I have more dorsireflexion or how you call it in my right foot than left one but I think it will improve with time. Meaning I have more difficulties touching the floor with my left heel first.
I'm back home again since the end of last month. I stopped taking pain killers but yesterday I started again with one tramal per day because especially after I sat a longer time or after sleeping there's pressure inside my legs and knees when I lift them after having put my weight on them. But after some time it gets easier. I don't know why (maybe because I took more painkillers) but in Athens I was able to get up and walk faster.
At home I sometimes sleep for almost 12 hours (with stops inbetween where I wake up), bathroom, breakfast, learn another language, read the news, ps4, surfing etc. Mentally I feel very good (except for the thoughts where I wish to be able to walk again) My mother still helps me a lot.
My room is in the first floor and the steps to downstairs are too high and too narrow. Climbing stairs is not possible. My right knee is not strong enough and bending my right knee while putting my whole weight on it can be painful suddenly. Too dangerous. I rather sit on the step and climb down and up while sitting but getting down or up isn't easy either. I need support for that. Getting in and out the car can be tricky as our parkway and street is not that even. On top of that we have winter. So in case there will be snow or ice outside I have to cancel my PT appointment or I call a special organization who helps transfer people in wheelchairs.
My muscle discomfort has 99% vanished since I arrived here..maybe it was the mattress in Athens
My right foot's stretching got better, but I am sure as soon as the frames get taken off it will be a lot better because there's one pin that hurts a lot when I stretch my foot and while I can move my left foot to the right and left, I can't do the same with the right foot mainly due to that one or both pins at my ankle.
I try to do PT exercises on my own everyday, leaning against the wall, lifting my legs, cycling. Yesterday I walked for an hour in my room. Sometimes I stand while reading sth.
Next week I'll have two PT sessions with a physiotherapist who has seen fixateur externes but isn't experiences with them, still I trust her...it's just strengthening my muscles and stretching, I can tell her what my PT in Athens did with me
I just hope that I will be able to walk before summer because I want go on with life
Next week I want to go to the radiology for new X-rays.
