Hi All - I had a plate and 3 screws removed 2 weeks from the outside of tibial plateau. I am having charlie horsing in my thigh, shooting pain down my shin, pain around the patella. Has anyone else had the plate removed and had this kind of pain 2 weeks out from surgery? How long until regular, painless activity? I walked 5 miles 2 days ago it didn't hurt while walking, but today, I can barely walk. I'm a 55yo athletic female with good bone density.
