Removal of plate and screws from tibia fracture

@lioness The boot does have soft padding inside. It also has a hard shield on the front that bends at the ankle, so I tried it without that and it didn't help. I thought it was hitting me at the fracture point and it was held on by velcro. I could try a washcloth or something like that and see if it helps. I think it is the weight pulling on and rubbing the most sensitive places that hurts. My leg is pretty weak too and no muscle tone in my calf so the boot seems heavy to me. I couldn't see my calf move at all when I flexed it until just the other day. It has just a slight movement now probably from the weight bearing I have been doing. Recovery is slow.

@jenniferhunter What ever you can do to help ,that's all I can suggest if it's in the front might help a soft padding of some kind just does take a long time

I see, very long recovery. I’ve discovered a game on my smartphone called Wordscapes...it’s a lot of fun. After I had my surgery I downloaded the public library app on my phone so I could listen to audiobooks. I really enjoy this. These are suggestions to pass the time if you don’t already do them.

@lioness Oh, I'm so sorry. I haven't been reading my messages very well because there are so many of them that I get. Bless Your heart. It must be miserable
You got a fracture and you are just about like me. It takes time to heal and I don't have patients. My husband catches me bending, or twisting a little bit and he tells me about it. He is now doing everything, Cooking, washing, tying my shoes when I go for a walk. He wants me to work on not bending and twisting, because I have soft bones and could break a rod or pull out a screw. I go back to Mayo in October. My They x-ray to make sure all is ok and then I see the surgeon. I still have some pain, but off of all pain pills and take tylenol that does nothing.
I feel so bad for you and I do remember that you fell I just didn't know it was so bad. Take care my dear and I will think and pray for you.

@lilypaws You have me mixedup with Jenniferhunter I think My fractures where years ago . I was responding to jenniferhunter Patience is the word for you

I played that for awhile too but then I started to get frustrated as it got hard.....but it was fun while it lasted...hehe

@migzizii...I play with my 11 yr. old every night and he’s better at it then I am..😂

Wow! Makes me feel rather inept.....but awesome for your grandson! Maybe I should try it again now that I am retired and will be more focused without the stresses of work....hehe

You can watch ads to accrue points which will allow you to get hints. No need to feel inept!

@quiteachiver75 My daughter was coming off her horse and sprained her ankle the horse step on it. She had a compound Tibia, which they f ixed that night, that was last Tuesday. They also fixed her ankle that was out. Tomorrow she has her second surgery to fix the tibula and screws and I don't know what else, her tibula was also fractured. They will clean it out real good. It's been the pits we can't see her, but I will be able to see her before surgery and after surgery. Please pray for her if you do so.
