I am so excited I found this site. It's nice to have other prople relate to what I am going through..even though I feel bad to know that there are so many people in pain like myself.
I fell on May 17, breaking my Tibia, Fibula, and ankle. I was in the hospital for 6 days and had a 4-5 hour surgery. I came out with a rod from my knee to my ankle, 2 screws just under my knee and a plate with 3 screws in my ankle. When I woke up from my surgery I felt like my knee cap was broken...(which was strange b/c I didn't fall on my knee.) Well come to find out, after I went to get my check up, and all my 50 stitches out from 6 different incisions..they nailed the rod through my knee cap.. OUCH!! So wonder it felt like it was broken. I am still having an amazing amount of pain in my ankle and my knee. Did anyone else have the rod nailed through the knee cap?
