I was hit by a car in Aug. 2012 ,and which the end results was a broken leg. I had to have surgery,and now I no longer own my own bone,cause now it s titanium,from my knee to my ankle. My doctor told me that it may take me a year to walk again. What happened instead by the middle of September they emoved he cast ,and I was walking before Halloween .I am truly blessed for that ,because I have children. I have been doing fine and taking it easy trying to abou my regular activities ,but I still get discomfort in my leg, it has been almost three years now and now I feel my leg mus les squeezing against it really tight as I walk and again thats not safe,and now its starting to affect my other leg,do you think they removed the cast to early,or can pain medicine help. Thank you -Ouch :(
Hello healthcare user, whether your or tho surgeon removed cast early or not can't be commented without looking at your X-rays. You can go ahead with removal of implant if the bone is healed...titanium implants are considered to be superior to steel implants... I would advise you to consult your doctor regarding implant removal....also I would ask you to consult a physiotherapist to train your muscles accordingly...thanks
