I slipped last July 13th, as in Firday the 13th, and broke/crushed several bones in the ankle. I spent a week in the hosiptal, had surgery, went back to work after 3 weeks. I used a walker for the first 3 months and then I could finally start trying to walk. Went to physical therapy and they over did it one day and created stress fractures in the top of my foot. I keep getting stress fractures now because the hardware is coming out of the bone. I am preparing to go back in to remove the hardware and go back in a cast. I am beginning to think I may never wear matching shoes again. Nice to meet you guys. I slipped last July 13th, as in Firday the 13th, and broke/crushed several bones in the ankle.

Man was that embarrassing. Broken in 3 places that required 8 screws and a plate. I broke in April 2 had surgery on the 4th. Went back on the 17th and went into the boot and started Physical Therapy. I also coach baseball. I can't wait to start walking again but it doesn't seem like it will be soon after reading the above messages.

Hello Sandy

Yes I too broke both my Tibia/Fibula and a third bone near the foot, so I understand what you are going through, it’s good to hear that you are walking some, it took me almost 4 monts before I could even put my foot on the floor without pain, hang in there!!!

I go back to the ortho in three weeks to check my bone healing. I was wondering if anyone broke their tib/fib. I fell in my kitchen. I am 57 years old. I recently broke my tibia and fibula and I am

I am in physical therapy and I am currently learning how to walk with one crutch and an aircast on my leg (instead of the boot) and it is coming along, but I am extremely frustrated because my ankle constantly throbs, the hardware is literally coming out of my skin and is irritating as hell. My foot is always cold and I can't bend my big toe at all on this foot. My surgeon has decided that he wants to take the hardware out, so I am not looking forward to whole recovery process again. My birthday is coming and here I am unable to really celebrate because I can't stand or drive, etc. I was so glad to come across this site and find that I am not alone in dealing with such madness, that I started to feel a little better and began to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I just want to say thank you to everyone for sharing their stories and giving such encouraging words. Now that I have found this group, I will be checking in daily for my dose of "chicken noodle soup". Bless you all!! Hello All:

I know that doctors are for the most part helpful. Bulemia is a real thing in female housecats. I would not have believed it and for the longest time didn't. Go figure. This isn’t reasonable.

The motorized ones that is. ;) Doctors are OK in my book but I can see why you don't like them though. My wife doesn’t like bikes either.
