Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Oh, , I'm sorry to hear about your OS visit. Is this what is referred to as a " non-union " ? - I sure hope that is not the case. I'm not sure what they do to fix it, but I'm sure that others in this group could shed some light on this. At least your screws and plates are doing great. Did he give you something to control the pain? Hang in there, and take care of yourself, okay? I'm sending bone-fusing vibes and healing thoughts your way. ~~~ Diane > > Hi All, > > Today I went to see my OS for my monthly checkup and to also check out > this pain that has developed over the past few days.
