Nearing 5 monrhs since I snapped my lower leg, finally able to start running!

Broke my leg a bit before high school graduation, and had to be wheeled across the stage. Snapped both bones in the lower leg, tib/fib, and was NWB (non-weight bearing) for over three months.

After a hard two months of working on my leg, I can finally be a little bit happy with my situation. I can finally go from flat foot to toe stand on my bad leg without pain (on warm days), and I've went from 10 lb to 25 lb leg curls on the bad leg (hamstring hurts like hell, thanks atrophy). My calf muscle is building up again, when I originally couldn't see any muscle when flexing. And most importantly, which brings me the most joy, I can finally run.

Not too fast and not too far, but I can do it and I'm ecstatic. Crushing my original goal by two months.

Slow and steady.  Slow and steady.  Don't jump in too hard.  (Made that mistake myself and paid for it.)

 

Glad your making progress.  Feels so good after being down for so long.
