TrophyHunter 15 Posted August 21, 2014 Hang in there Kug! Nice rod and screw combo. I ate calcium tablets (Tums) to help the healing on my collarbone. I don't know if it helped, but it made me feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vacman 0 Posted August 21, 2014 Hopefully that's normal. I know a guy who had to have his leg rebroken twice because the bones were offset too far to give him enough support in his leg. He also used it a lot before the doctor told him it was ok to because "it felt fine." Tread lightly. (Excuse the pun) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 116 Posted August 21, 2014 TSA is going to love you, I have to explain anytime there is metal detectors, think courthouse, del mar fair, airport etc. DO WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS, exercise is not usually good for broken bones. I found out John Waynes war movie exploits were pretty much B.S., no one can lace up their boot tight enough to walk out of Italy with a broken ankle. Cool x-rays though, its nice it broke high enough to not screw up your ankle. (a little silver lining) uncle c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkug 146 Posted August 21, 2014 And, Did the Orthopedic guy esplain why the bones were still displaced? I was shocked too but he said it is normal look.He said it will take months for bone growth to show on x rays. I got a 4 leg cane today and I am using that to try out walking. Works good.
