orthopedic question

[dianesv]

In September 2011, I crushed the top of my tibia and fibula. The surgery consisted of putting in metal plates on both bones because they were so badly damaged. The rehab was not so good and I had to have a manipulation because the scar tissue locked up my leg. After which the rehab went as best as it could, I still do not have the flexion as I used to which causes me to limp. I am walking with pain all the time and am afraid I will twist and fall. If I sit for more than a half hour it hurts to stand and then I have to let my leg click into place (about 5 clicks). I am sure in time I will just get used to this as I am grateful to be walking at all since the doctor did not think I would. (HE TOLD ME THIS AFTER I WALKED INTO HIS OFFICE…THANK GOD). Is it normal to still be in such pain all the time and I would also like to know when I will ever stop swelling??

Is there a reason why the doctor has replied to everyone else and not me???

Hi. In my opionion something is still not right i dont think that your leg should not be. Clicking that many times and you surely shouldnt be in thst much pain constsntly all. the time hun and when you had the opperation should hsve been fixed and getting better not worse hun may i serjest you go bsck to them and tel them of and about all this and contact a injuries claim department and put in a cksim of and about it also when you go bsck to them tell them that youd like them to correct it and dolve your pain issue as thst should in no way be the case bye now may i ask how long ago you had this done when it was done? Since. 20011 please thanks snd very happy to do sll i can to try and help u advice n surpport you ect n more ok im here for you if n when u need me ok hun god bless you
