Ankle Update: 6 weeks on bone stimulator..... 4 months post-injury......BROKEN FOREVER

Just got back from the doctor...

Got new xrays...



And still no sign of healing.

Yup.

X-rays still look the same.

Doctor says it might be a fibrous union, where the bone is joined together by fibrous material which doesn't show up on the xray. Who knows. He says I could get an MRI or Cat Scan or something to see in more detail if it's healed but he doesn't think it's worth exposing myself to the radiation when his prognosis is going to be the same.

So...he gave me the go ahead to start weight-bearing as tolerated.

I guess that's progress.

Still would like to know that the bone is healed...

But I guess now I can get to start trying to walk.

Yay.
