Hello everyone - life certainly can be very trying.
My op was a success everything was where it was supposed to be etc.. the surgeon was pleased and told me I can now weight bear... When I got home and tryed it, I felt something in my heel and was covinced it was one of the screws used in the op.. It was incredibly painful to put any weight on it. I phoned up the hospital who confirmed to me that it probably is one of the screws!!! I can actually feel the shape of it with my hands
So now if it doesn't settle down ( which she assured me was pretty normal and it should do ) I will have to go back and have another general anaeshetic to have it removed Problem is how long should I leave it? I have told work I will be back in on Tuesday.
But hey ho at least the op was a success
Hope you guys are all doing well

Hi Kelly,
You have had good advice that it should settle down, really hope this is the case for you but if you continue to be concernd over the bank hols definitely seek more medical advice,
If i was you i would go back to work a little later and definitely dont feel guilty about this at all,
hope things improve for you,
take care lots ove Liz xxxxx

Hello Kells
well done with success of operation good healing,oh deary minor setback best to have it removed me hubby ahd 2 in his foot had them removed as one could be felt threw skin it depends if its still in postion.best thing would be ring up and they get you in foir xray to locate its postion and make decision from that what to do.
work can wait longer,you shouldnt really be going back when only just starting weight bear on it.
best luck let us know how you get on.
may not need removing just be loked at by consultant xray check up.
take care

Ooo you don't need this Kelly. When I had a screw put in my toe I was told that in time it may become visible, at which point they could take it out but this hasn't happenend so far.

0h, Kelly, what a rotten thing to happen, and certainly not something you'd expect. Glad the op was a success though, but this must have been such a disappointment.

So sorry to hear this Kels, I understand how you feel about the pressure of going back to work but you must put yourself first this time for the longer term benefits of the op. Have things settled down at all yet?

This is outwith your control so work will have to accept it. Hope that you get something done as it is not a lot of use not being able to walk on it.

Take care, hope that someone contacts you tomorrow. If not, I would follow Jean's suggestion and contact your GP.

Hi Kelly,

Sorry to hear that your operation did not go as expected and hope when you see the doctors tomorrow that they will be able to help you. I would not worry about work, as there really is nothing you can do about it.

Hope you feel better soon,

love,

Barbara
