I'm new to the broken ankle crowd...you tell me...I hope mine heals differently...Dmarlopez said:the only thing is that my ankle is pretty sensitive if i hit it against stuff. while if i hit my good ankle on something harder it doesnt even hurt. how long until that goes away?
BMXman said:ok I just had a thought...maybe the metal in your leg carries the vibrations more efficiently so small hits hurt more???....just a theory...D
i broke my ankle about 4 years ago and its still sensitive when it hits stuffmarlopez said:while if i hit my good ankle on something harder it doesnt even hurt. how long until that goes away?
Mine only hurts if I break it.Ciaran said:Mine only hurts if I hit it right on the metal. Other than that I don't feel a thing... hot, cold, rainy or dry.

I don't know but the metal plates and screws in my hand and wrist are very sensitive!! It's probably because they are so close to the skin you can feel some of them. They are on the bottom side too so I brush that area up against stuff all the time and it still feels really unsettling over a year later! I wonder if there is a medical reason behind it? I will ask my orthopedic surgeon next time I see him!BMXman said:ok I just had a thought...maybe the metal in your leg carries the vibrations more efficiently so small hits hurt more???....just a theory...D
oh man! the staple removal was the worst! i think it was worse than breaking the ankle and it turned out worse than the whole process once everything was done. so the bright side of this whole ordeal is that the worst is over and it's only gonna get progressively better from now onBMXman said:thanks Boomer for the info. I just came back form my first follow up visit and I got a new cast and my staples removed. The staple removal hurt more than I thought it would....but my second cast is much more comfortable and form fitting...I would post pics but some folks get a little squirmy
yeah everyday I feel a bit better but I reallly hate just laying around. Today though my fork came from Marzocchi so that was the highlight of my day...oh and daytime TV sucks!!...Dmarlopez said:oh man! the staple removal was the worst! i think it was worse than breaking the ankle and it turned out worse than the whole process once everything was done. so the bright side of this whole ordeal is that the worst is over and it's only gonna get progressively better from now on

damn!...now I don't feel so bad....my doc did ask me how comfortable I was in the cast and I said I was ok but....I should have STFU....DJeremy R said:That reminds me.
When I had my compound fracture of my tibia/fibia, I had to wear that external fixator thing (like a halo). I had 3 steel rods going through the top of my lower leg, and two right around the ankle.
On a follow up visit, the Dr. asked me if I was having any problems, and I said the rods were bothering the inside of my other leg when I was sleeping, because they are too long. He said, Hold on, I will fix that.
He came back into the room with a big pair of boltcutters to cut the rods down. Everytime he cut one, it would send a huge shockwave through my whole body. It was brutal. I could have just slept with a pillow between my legs, but no, I had to speak up. From then when they asked how I was everything was hunky fu@*ing dory.
Definitely the worst part!!! It's entertaining for the first few days and then it just plain out sucks!!! I had surgery on my fett back in '94 and was on bed/hourse arrest for 4 a solid weeks. After 4 weeks I was allowed out on a very very limited basis....you get quite a few odd looks when you're 20 years old and using a walker!BMXman said:yeah everyday I feel a bit better but I reallly hate just laying around.
