Hey there how are you. I stipped on ice 1 year ago today at a Patriots game and I still can not run. I broke both tib and fib and had a rod and pins. After three months I asked that they take out the lower pin because it was irritating. They realized it was broken and removed part of it. I feel as though the remaining pin is causing my problems. Any ideas. Also, does anyone know anyone who has had the rod taken out. I am concidering this option due to my pain still. Thanks in advance. Erin
