Guest guest Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hi All, I will see my orthopedic Dr. on Jan 11th. I was in a car accident over 3 years ago and I shatter my right ankle and wrist badly. I found out a few months ago I have a broken screw and fine crack in a plate (ankle). I would like to get the surgery on the roll but my Mom think I should wait until she get back and that won't be until sometime in March. I can get a company I used to work for have caregivers come in and help me once or twice a week. I'm in really bad pain and I'm taking pain reliever which is 650 mg every 8 hours. It relieve some pain but when I turn a certain way it hurt like hll (DOT) I can't walk much and when I go shopping i have to use those mobile cart to get around which they are great and handy. I just don't know what to do. I'm writing down questions to ask the doctor - like does he have to take the broken screw and some tissues out and see if I have infection, recovery time, and if I can put weight on the ankle? I will keep you all posted what is going to happen. Any feedback will be appreciated. Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
