In a cast again
 

So the heel spur surgery from 2012 strikes again. One of the screws to attached my Achilles to my heel came out. AND-my body likes to calcify scar tissue. There was new bone above my heel.

In a cast for four weeks. Then a walking boot.

At least I can drive when the doc gives me permission
Handicap parking for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing the pain killers are working?

Nerve block now, no pain killers unless I really need them.

Get the God damned prescription! I'll PM you my address.

Get well soon man.

I have them. Just don't want them.

When I read the title, I assumed that you had won a role in your local production of West Side Story.

Thought maybe you were breaking out the Dale Carter Jersey Sunday


Get well

:clap:

Kid 2 is the actor and the singer.

Jamal Charles, Drew ott and I are getting together this weekend to watch Golden Girls

Sounds like you need a better ortho.

yea, if this happens again, I go to someone else. Wife's orders.

All I can do today is make smart ass comments on CP and in the local newspaper.

And work on my typing. Seems like I am a dyslexic typer.

Change your name to diplacedoncouch?

Get better man

Hope your heel heals quickly.

Sincerely,
Major Major

Pardon my ignorance of the subject, but at some point, would the screws ever be removed or are they supposed to stay in there permanently? Not knowing anything about this, it just seems to me that at some point, the body would be better off without things in there that aren't standard issue.

Also, I hope things improve for you soon.

Not a problem Ed.

If they have to remove them, they that means opening up the heel again. It takes two weeks in a cast to heal again. Not worth it. It is meant to permanently attach the Achilles to the heel.
