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??
