Hope to join the royal marines in the near future, not sure whether to get the metal work out or not, has anyone had a similar injury and had theirs out? Hope this helps :D ps do what the physio says!!!! my mates got loads of tendon/flexibility problems from not doing the exercises!!!!! All in all the swelling goes on for ******* ages after the op and it's the same for most, it doesnt stop you doing anything you did before, it just contributes to the 'not feeling normal' which i got the first couple of months after being out of crutches, the trick is to just forget you had the injury and treat any extra discomfort as just normal aches and pains and just fight through it when doing anything strenuous. Hade a bit of discomfort with the tendons (arch on foot never recovered properly) every now and again but the doc says if it's not any better in a few months he'll give me some key hole surgery. Does any of your metalwork ever ache btw? Consultant says it's completly normal and its gunna take a good year before the swelling regulates. Had the op in early october of last year, i've done alot of sporting activity since rugby/10tors55/running/swimming but still get alot of swelling after these activities, usually have to rest it for a bit to bring the swelling down(bit annoying but i can live with it). Had exactly the same injury and repair job as sl26t from playing rugby. Also, does the tight brace help reduce the swelling, or will it aggravate it? Many thanks for your advice. and would appreciate if if you could help me understnd this.

My worry currently is my toes and forefoot are still swollen.He said that is normal, and they could stay swollen for months. But he said it would be about 6 weeks before I will be able to walk unaided. The surgeon said I should put some weight on the foot, and could start swimming in a few days to help flexibility and muscle building. It is tight enough to cause some pain, though I take it off at night and put it back on in the morning. 5 weeks later ie last week, X-Rays showed ''fixation solid with early healing'' (surgeon's words.) They took off the cast and gave me a cloth brace which grips my lower shin and ankle and most of the foot very tight. I underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a T-plate and screws on the same evening, and was discharged walking with crutches 5 days later. Hi, I sustained a comminuted fracture of the distal end of my left tibia and fibula in a motorcycle accident on Jan 12.
