Pain three years after plate and screws for broken ankle
I broke both ankles (stepped in a depression in my yard) in 2021. Right leg fibula was broken, left leg both tibia and fibula were broken. Ortho did surgery on left ankle and put in about seven screws and a plate on the side. I can walk just fine, but have intermittent pain in ankle. Just wondering if it could be arthritis or if something is wrong. Would love to hear others' experiences with metal in their bones.

It sounds like what I've been using since last April for my shoulder. I just bought a third one so I can cut the oldest one apart and make a more custom fit. I too bought it from Amazon for about $30. I've been really impressed with the batteries. They last a long time even with the het set high. I've needed a new shoulder for over a year and have managed to avoid it so far.
When you say hardware, what are you referring to? Some screws, plates etc? Thanks again
