Hardware removal

Posted , 4 users are following.

So I go in next week to get all 12 of my screws and my huge 8" plate out cause my body has decided it dos not like the metal and will no longer play nice. They also are gonna go in with a camera and remove 1 or 2 bone spurs and clean up the joint. Anyone able to tell me if this is going to suck as much as last time?

    i had 10 screws and my plate removed on july 11th. 1 screw could not be removed.

    It was not as bad as my original surgery to repair my broken ankle.

    I was told to use my boot, i used it for 1 day. (i used it to walk out of the hospital after removal) I am having some swelling.

    My doctor said no PT was needed. I’m going back to me my doctor said no PT was needed. I’m going back to my aqua fit classes next week.

    good luck, you got this
