Progress is coming along nicely. Yesterday, I felt as though perhaps I was ready to go ahead and run for awhile. At least more than I have been doing, which has been a few dozen metres here and there to and from the vehicle and wee bit on the treadmill. Today not so much, for no obvious reason.
The physio now has me doing box jumps, heel drops, squats and walking around on my toes and then walking around on my heels. All of this is very counter-intuitive.
In fact any runner can vouch for the fact that if we sense pain, we equate that to oncoming injury, so we back off and fix the issue before it becomes serious.
With post-surgery, I am having trouble getting my head around the idea that any pain I may feel when jumping off boxes or semi-violently dropping my heels below a stair is working towards recovery. In fact, the pain = oncoming injury is so stuck in my psyche that when I walk, I have to consciously force myself to walk normal....the brain-neuro-muscular relationship is in a quarreling match right now.
