I feel your pain mate, that's a pretty nasty break, don't the screws feel great, you're going to know about that in winter. Feels like an electric shocked when they're touched too, speedy recovery to you, get yourself a good physio & exercise physiologist at a gym when the time comes. Gary

Ouch yes, but not the motorbike Col... this one involved a ladder, a roof, an unsecured sheet of metal roofing, a gust of wind, and a paling fence...
Anyone want to join the dots?

Sounds like what I did about 15 months ago. Walked away with only 5 stitches and a tetanus shot. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes not.

I DO consider myself very lucky.... of all the possible outcomes I could see, I definatly got the better one! It wouldn't have taken much to be different for me to be dead, or para/quadraplegic...

That bloke who had the boat land on his roof might need to use the same guys you did?

Great Job

Seen your x ray pic

If your Pain does not go away and stays then beaware it could be RSD as RSD can happen in leg injury.

Thanks Al,

Not sure what RSD is, but my injury is my arm - not leg.

At the moment it's infection I am battling - looks like I'm going to have to go back in for more surgery to remove the metalwork once the bone is healed... :-(

Most definitely Vick.... though I'd say it'll be very cautious at first - especially for Dad!

You'll have 18 months before the screws and plates will come out, I'd be confident in saying that, that bone will take a long time to fully heal, from my bone experience similar. Wishing you the best with your infection, just keep an eye on it & tell the Dr how it feels. Gary.

RSD can be triggered off from a arm or leg injury.

It is also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, just a heads up incase your Pain does not go away, if it happens it needs to be treated ASAP. They give you nerve blocks and Hydro therapy to calm it down.

If left untreted it becomes Permanent and there is no cure.
