Hey guys.
Been a long time since I've talked about my ankle.
Basically, I've been following (religiously - sort of) an ankle mobility and strengthening routine for just over 3 weeks now. I've also been taking GLC2000. My ankle hasn't felt this good for some years. I'm not going to push it and begin running (just yet), but I don't think I'm a million miles away now. I'm not saying the military is still possible, it probably isn't, but the pain has reduced significantly, mobility has improved drastically, and I'm feeling stronger on it.
So much so, I got up and down Scafell Pike without too many dramas yesterday. And even better, I'm not stiff today! That was the biggie for me. It wasn't stiff, I couldn't believe it.
The first time you haven't woken up stiff for years!![]()
Class act mate, would you not even think about the TA, even a support role like RLC or something? Not being nasty just genuinely asking if RM/Para etc was to demanding on your ankle?
Thought you were a midwife now?
I save lives.
Yeah not heard a peep from you since I left for RT!Have I really been that quiet? Work, trying for jobs in more hilly, snowy climes and being rejected for said jobs takes up a lot of my time.

Just read your thread 'Aim for the heavens, get shot down' mate. Good to see things worked out for you in the end![]()
Was the total TMU for your quad tear 6 months?
