    In the UK it seems to not be in effect. I went to the dentist about 4 weeks after my thr and they said nothing about antibiotics. Noy long after have pin and plat put in my collarbone I was told I hdd a serious infection in my gums and needed my wisdom tooth pulledout. Once again no antibiotics. Everything went smoothly and iv been fine since

      Aww no haha. Yes, you are still very young yourself. I am 20, i have had 14 surgeries now haha. And my knees and back are under investigation now haha. Yes the limping takes a while to go away, its due to the muscles being so weak. Once they start getting strong the limp will start to ease
