In the last few days has had what seems to be a flare-up. Still monitoring it closely and because of the flare-up he is now really cautious of over-doing it. Just prior to this flare-up he was doing really well...
Pre his flare-up....
- Could sit about 20 minutes then again if he had a brief walk in between
- Could reach just below his knees
- Could stand up straight and walk correctly
- No problems with surgery wound
- Was off painkillers and no need for ice/heat
- Some residual pain in his calf and buttock
- Doing the three weeks post op exercise routine, including some cycling
- Taking anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants
- Back to the 'basic physio stretches' only
- Walking about 1 km gently
- Sleeping a lot - probably because of the muscle relaxants
- Can still reach below his knees
- Can stand properly, although could manage this only once he started taking the muscle relaxants/anti-inflammatories. Before the meds and in peak flare-up he could no longer stand or sit
- We've ditched taking his exams for the moment until we are over this flare-up.
