SwissVan Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE.... From firsthand experience the bones in your foot after injuries are extremely sensative and take time to recovery to a sense of 100% 16 months ago i shattered my navicular and dislocated my 4th and 5th metetarsals... i had the metatarsals fixed with K-wies and the navicular with a plate and 5 screws. I was completely non-weight bearing for 4 months before having everything removed and starting with physio to get mobility back in my leg and ankle. My leg all but disintegrated in those 4 months, my ankle seemingly froze up and my achileas shrunk, as mentioned it all happened 16 months ago and i still walk with a bad limp, struggle with swelling and pain. Everything has improved quite a bit over the last month or so after spending extensive time with a biokineticist... Just be patient with the rehab and do extensive physio and stretching on your achilleas and ankle joint to get mobility back. It will get frustrating to start. Im seeing 2 specialists in Cape Town next week for an update and a discussion about what my future looks like, extremely nervous and anxious to hear the outcomes. Good luck with the recovery Eish... All the best for your recovery Looking at those self tapping screws and plate (check the edge distance [lack of] on those holes) hate to know how much they cost, or did the "surgeon" buy them from the local hardware shop and make the plate at home?

Haha... all in all the time in theatre and hospital (I got an infection too and was re-admitted after being discharge) ran a bill of 6 figures. Medical aid covered it all I was wondering if i could re-sell them on the chinese black market SwissVan 1
