muscle atrophy

femmerides

so i have had a leg cast on my left leg for almost 5 weeks. i just got it removed today and walking feels SOOOOO weird. my calf is visibly smaller and the muscle is just different. does anyone know how long it takes for the muscle to build up again? i can't do anything high impact for the next 4 weeks. So walking is pretty much the only exercise i'll be getting. i'm excited i'm allowed to do even that. anyways, i hope that it doesn't take too long to get my left leg feeling normal again.

Are you in any kind of prescribed physical therapy? If you are, this will definitely help
