I think everyone’s recovery is at a different rate. I felt like I failed when at 6 weeks I still was far from recovered. I kept on with PT and elevation, however. At 3 and a Half months I finally feel mostly recovered. I just gave up a came a week ago. I was able for the first time to get into the drivers seat of our van and drive again yesterday. I had extreme swelling for a couple of months in spite of compression stockings, elevation and icing. It takes a lot of patience and persistence. At one point I did too much and caused more pain. I backed off activity some and added more rest and it paid off in a few weeks. Best wishes for a Good recovery no matter how long it takes.
