it's been 8 & 1/2 months now so i started stretching 3 weeks ago & took this picture as a base to see how my leg comes on in the following months.
im not doing any contact whatsoever with shin but doing various static stretching & leg swings to free up the ligaments/muscles traumatised by the operation although havin the bottom screws removed has freed up a lot of movement in my ankle.
hope this makes people realise that you can recover with time from the worst of injurys.
even though iv'e always been skinny you can notice in the picture how quick the calf muscles in my broken leg (left in the picture) rapidlly shrink and tighten after such an injury.
(i'll take back the skinny bit as iv'e jumped from 72kgs to 86kgs while i was off comfort eating on kebab's & pizza's).
gotta belly like a buddha hidden under my shorts lol.
