What are they attempting to repair with the surgery? I thought one just wore a cast for a month or something.

I guess the way I broke it, I have one bone grinding on another bone with no cartiladge in between. So bone A has to be put back in place and screwed in.
 
^^^That's it......pwn that azz!!!!!!
 
Good luck with surgery.

I hope you get better soon and start kicking ass in the gym again.

Your work better take damn good care of you (pay while off, pay for surgery, pay for rehab). If not....sue the hell out of them.

duder, think twice about that please. These days orthapedists ALL prefer to do surgery on broken ankles, but it is usually not totally neccesary.

I had 3 breaks in two of the ankle bones 7 years ago, and I have pain in the plate and screws pretty much every day. They cause a lot more trauma to the injured area doing the "repair" than occured from the original break. In most cases surgery isn't actually essential, and in some ways the longterm prognosis is worse than if you didn't get them screw plates and pins into your pins. They just prefer to do surgery b/c it is way more expensive than an office visit and it's easier for them to set the bones. Don't let them hussle you into surgery before you find out more about this.

An orthapedist is trained to manipulate the bones manually to move them back, and they will if you refuse the surgery.

Ask this question for starters: what's likely to be the worst outcome if you just reset the break(s) manually? Dont let them use bullshit scare tactics like what could happen. Anything could fucking happen. You could die under the anesthesia, right? What will most likely happen.
 
HAHAHAAHAHAhAAAAA

*takes notes*

Now in our next extreme naked MMA cage match I know to utilize the ankle lock to finish you off and make you tap outttt!!!

Wait, which one was it again? The left one?

Yeah, but maybe they could give him a Terminator leg. How fuckin' sweet would that be?

For me, not very sweet as my inevitable victory would take a bit longer than planned once we are in the cage.
 
surgery was done yesterday, been asleep for about 24 hours. saw my x-rays with two screws in my ankle, looks pretty rad.


rottenwillow: a lot of that occurred to me and I suppose I should have thought about it more but I was basically told (not sure if its true or not) that if I wasnt operated in within a couple days Id have to wait about two weeks for the swelling to go down. and without the procedure more likely than not I'd have arthritis ina years time due to the way I broke through all my cartiladge. everything was covered and whats done is done so I can jsut heal now. he also said I could have the screws removed once the bone is healed if I wish, and that would still be covered under the worker's comp umbrella
 
its fucked because after it happened I tried to go back to work a few minutes later. but I went to put my shoe back on and saw the softball sticking out of my ankle. limped down 3 flights of stairs to my truck and drove to urgent care, thinking it was sprained. they did an x-ray and sent me immediately off to an ortho specialist when they saw it was broken
 
fucken a man.

You better get that shit set straight or your gym time will forever be fucked. Chill out on pain meds for a while.

Now might be the time to start introducing some HCG and get some blood levels tested.

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, especially when you feel shitty, but you'll most likely end up with arthritis anyway. I've gotten cynical as hell about all this ankle surgery shit since everyone I'd met who's broken their's has apparently been told "OMG surgery now or your skull will explode...sign here".

I broke my ankle in 4 places last November it still hurts. They said they need to cut me and fix some muscles and damage to connecting stuff. I said no, they said ok, but your balls will fall off, I said too late they are already in the wife's purse.

I got arthritis and there ain't a lot to do about that when you get old.

Good luck, drink vodka it ain't half bad as a pain killer.
