Three months after they had me in a soft splint and I accidentally put all my weight on my ankle and they said it jammed one of the 10 screws out of place so on one side of the ankle I have a big gap between the bones. The doctor is hoping all the other screws will do the job, I am only walking 10 minutes every two hours and it hurts!!! Anyone else have this problem?
I immediately said a prayer. I may be in the same boat as one of my screws came out of place in the front plate. I'm just 3 months out of surgery. I just know how u must feel. This is my second surgery on the same ankle. LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH.
Hi I'm 10 weeks post ttc open ankle fusion and a bone graft and a big nail up through my heel half way up my shin . Bin hard but was back work light duties after four weeks in a cast in a air walker no cast at 7 weeks still can't go anywhere without my crutches but defo going forward each week can stand alone in the shower and get around daily chores etc ok . Hardly any pain best thing I've had done for sure.back for mri and all clear I hope end of jan . But ur ankle job dosent sound right after 5 months I'm so sorry to hear I think u need to ask for a second opinion I'm 50 years young and live on my own in a second floor flat .

Thanks. 😀 I am going to see the doctor next Friday.
I do have a knee scooter. I got it before the surgery as my ankle was bad then. I don't know how I could possibly do without it
it is so wonderful!
