Well maybe your experiencing more pain/swelling because you broke the ankle too. That's a nasty place for a break since it is a Joint. My Tib-Fib break was re-connected very well after surgery...looking at X-rays, the OS did a Very Good job ! So, maybe this is why I am out of the pain-game.

Occasionally I do feel weird sensations......sometimes like a "tickling" feeling inside my leg. Also sometimes I feel a "pinching" feeling......I suspect it's the screws.

But back to the FEAR thing......yes I fear putting ANY weight on my leg.......but you have to when the leg is resting on the floor.

I am going to freak the first time I take that BIG step on it!!!
