Hello,
I understand your worry.I also obtained the same fracture,my Dr. said it would take up to 6mons to a year for me to walk rite.I feel like this rod is rubbing behind my knee every time I try and walk,the bolt I have on my ankle itches and hurt alot.Between my ankle and knee it just stay swollen.But I been pushing myself to walk and bend my knee without anyone helping me.Its hard to do the things you was use to doing before it happen.My accident was just resently.."January 11,2012".
