Had 6 weeks checkup. Consultant very pleased with my progress so far. I still have tight band around my left ankle and my foot and shin are still swollen and hurt. Nothing seems to shift the discomfort.

I now have added problem with dental pain, due to a tooth which needs extracting soon plus neuralgic pain on right side of jaw which gives me excruciating pain especially in middle of night. Consultant is concerned in case of any tooth infection which may spread to hip area. Need more antibiotics and pain relief i think.
