Hi I had my plate and three screws removed 2 weeks ago. My leg hurts so much from the surgery. I can barely walk today .. two days ago I walked 5 miles ... I have shooting pain to my hip, charlie horse in my thigh, shooting pain down my shin. I got the plate removed because I met a woman my age and level of activity, who had the same accident I did, had the plate for 4 years, could not run, had the plate removed and was running in a month. She encouraged me to do the surgery. I saw 3 diff docs, was definitely afraid of getting cut open again, but I've now done it. I am so afraid that it won't heal properly. Any thoughts? (sorry I already posted a version of this, but I don't know where it went!
