Removing hardware

Post a new topicby SueS on Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:40 am

I am 57, overweight, flat footed, history of plantar fasciitis and have RA June 08 I fell and broke both feet resulting in pins. One ankle broken which was corrected with plate, pins. Had a nasty staph infection in the broken ankle after surgery. I now have a sensation that a steel band is circling my foot, tightening as the day progresses. I have the sensation of walking on a lump and, of course,various pains that change almost daily! I've been told my Freibergs Disease is past consideration, yet this feeling of walking on a lump is very troublesome. A side note: I have a lumbar back fusion which is now numbing one thigh. New plan is to remove ankle hardware and decompress (tarsal tunnel) nerve. Please, is there anyone out there with ideas, suggestions?
