hi, my names cole, im new to the forum, its nearly 8 am, i havent slept im in too much pain, long story,..... doctor said if it wasnt for my mx boots, my leg would have been amputated, because the bones would have been shattered too much to do anything with, pretty much decimated i think he said?? or some fancy doctor term, whatever......WEAR YOUR RIDING BOOTS. IT WILL SAVE YOUR LEG. also, thats the only reason i didnt break my ankle!! 2 months after my injury cant walk, or feel half of my calf. i had a high speed tibial plataeu fracture, which knocked the back top half of my tibia off, where the calf muscle connects. needless to say, i didnt get surgery for a month because the dimwits at the horrible hospital told me to goto a orthopedist.... and its not a emergency surgery, therefore make a appointment. next time i seen someone, a day later.. at another hospital.. said since i didnt get surgery that day, i have to wait for swelling to go down!!! lots of hospital visits for pain meds, lots of bloodclots ad hospital admittings later, almost dyeing because they never bothered to look hard enough for them, because they wouldnt give me enough pain meds not to scream when they pressed on the back side of my legs.. 9 visits later.. they found blood clots from the back of the knee all the way down to the ankle. well, finally got my surgery, and im in immense pain. if anyone cares to chat a bit, id love it, 2 months after injury, and a few more to go, before i can even bare weight.. please save me someone. going insane like this. want to ride.
