Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yes that was me...I am 7 MONTHS post-op. I think I started noticing this about 5-7 wks out-that was the buzz you noted about slowing...and then it settled...no pain so no reason for concern, until last week. I saw the xray and there is at least one looking like a nail when you take it out of the wall, all bent at a right angle, cock-eyed...so they will all come out. Odd too, thinking about the timing bec I tend to be speedy with my healing and milestones (i.e. getting feeling back, etc)my metobolism is quick...I guess this is the exception to my rule?
