And if your doctor's say do this 5 to 10 times, maybe do 11. My ankle never fully recovered from my accident and I can't wish it on anyone.

Yep, same here. I tore the muscles and ligaments in my shoulder 25 years ago, and didn't keep up with the exercises. At the time it didn't feel too bad. Now, it hurts regularly, and I don't have the full range of motion.

On the bright side, every time I rotate my shoulder, it clicks and grinds, and scares the shit out of my squeamish friends...

Luckily my ankle doesn't hurt (but I still have 22 years to go), but being able to balance on my left foot would be nice.

And mine also clicks if I haven't moved it in a minute.
