hello, I had 250 days, 20 minute daily session of bone stimulation therapy better known as EXOGEN therapy. back in February 2017, I sustained an horrific injury to my ankle and leg.
It was diagnosed that I had a non-union fracture,
The Exogen therapy work to a certain degree but not completely,
The orthopaedic surgeon was satisfied with the outcome, as for me, I am not so satisfied, as I continue to work with a heavy limp, swelling and much pain. I sustained a compound fracture, the orthopaedic described it as a pilon fracture, which is a most serious break, especially with it being the ankle.
any question don’t hesitate to get in touch

This is exactly what concerns me, they will have me on this machine for god knows how long and it wont even heal properly. It is my posterior malleolus that has the non union fracture. I was in 3 different casts between waiting for my surgery amd after, I can't see how this machine will fix the fracture if it has t healed by now. I can't walk it's too painful, can't work, can't do anything, I am so concerned that this is now my life going forward.
