@jessie1990 Man. No wonder you are anxious. So your doctor is basically on holiday. Geez.
I know there is only so much they can determine with scans etc. until they get in to see it all. That's why my doctor did not know mine had shrunk. I was also a bit upset that I had spoken to the surgeon regarding what type of metal the staples would be beforehand. I figured that bridge had been crossed. He was vague then, and non-committal afterwards.
He THOUGHT they were titanium. I've been wondering if that has been the cause of my pain and inflammation. You would think that would be charted.
I had the same problem when I had to have screws put in my shoulder. Which still hurts years later.
