I would literally limp around on a broken leg if I was to get into Selection and won't quit but the US ARMY has it's policies and wanted to see if any QP's have ever broken their leg this way and gone back to the theater and kept with the high op tempo.
I was rucking 10-12 miles with 40-60 lb rucksack at a 13:00-14:00 pace in the beach on the sand and getting better before I broke my leg. I haven't tested myself on rucking just yet after the injury, I was getting the leg stronger in the gym first.  |
Exercise is the answer. My Doc told me to do ten leg lifts a day when in hospital and I did 1000 a day. My eldest son who has a pharmaceutical manufacturing company got hold of some Human Growth Hormone and I self-injected every second day. This may have made the difference in healing something the surgical team didn't think could happen. Don't take this as a medical recommendation though as I am not qualified to give one. I am sure you will find a doctor to comment on that or even someone from this site, if you are really lucky.
