how long will i take ? (sorry if in wrong post)

sgl
hi all
i had a bike crash (skidded on diesil spill) dident find owner of it, so i dont have a claim
i had spiral fractures of r/tiba and femure dislocated r/shoulder and gravel rash.
spent 3 weeks in hospital, got let out on diclofenic, morphine,sevrodol,this was 4.5 years ago,due to non-union
and infection in side of bone (femure)
i also had a external fixator for femure (looked barbaric) for 6 months
it worked to an extent, untill i was told to double screw turns
and bone driffted away from femure ( i was pulling it out of skin)
when i complaind about piece of tibia bone sticking out, was advised to come back next day for surgery, another time at hospital was in for 1 week on a drip due to infection, had op for cleaning out marrow, i also had big red band on wrist alergic to penicillian, i was given it intavenisly (sorry for the spelling)

was told at the start cant c&t scan due to pin in femure and tibia
"will get wrong kind of pictures" u c i am still on crutch
and takeing 40mg twice a day of mst and sevradol 20mg when required and diclofenic 100mg twice a day.
was then passed to 2 diffrent orthopedic surgens and now awating 10th operation for another bone marrow tranfer,
at end of day i only wish to walk with no crutch, and pain is causing me few problems
the 10th op is for injecting chemicals in to bone, as the elusive c&t scan, showed a hole the sice of 10mm through bone so u can see the pin, surgon hope this op will end all pain,
i thought this after 3rd op, i was wondering how easy it will be to come off these tablets as i have been on this for long time.
thanks
