I never stopped having some kind of pain. I did therapy, rehab, did everything I was told to do. 4 months later, in March of 2011, the pain was unbearable, and x-rays showed nothing wrong. I complained more. My doctor finally said he would take out the screws and plate. I had surgery on March 22 to do that. He found 1 of the screws had broken. He took out 2 of the smaller screws and half of the broken screw and the plate. However, he left in the longer screw and the broken piece. It is now August of 2011, and I still have pain. The pain is not getting better. I went to my family doctor and he said for the (still) swelling I should wear a wrap bandage during the day. I have for 4 weeks now and the pain is still there, altho the swelling has been helped IF I wear it when up and walking. I am now frustrated and still in pain, I don't know where to turn or what to do. The idea of walking like this for the rest of my life is not pleasant. If ANYONE can help me figure this out, please write on this and let me know.. Anything! I don't know if it's an on-going inflammation, or if it is an allergy to the metal, or even if the remaining screws are causing the pain. Please let me hear from someone!
