13 weeks on.....
A liittle update, I had my hospital appointment yesterday, another x-ray etc.. should have been quite straight forward considering my last visit was ok.
I am a smoker I have been told it doesnt help with bone healing rather aggressively by the consultant before. This same consultant I had the pleasure of seeing yesterday and here goes:
He couldn't believe he was loooking at the xray of a 29 year old and thought it was someone older as it looks as though I have osteoporosis (this wasn't the case when I saw him 10 weeks ago?) I have also been told that my ankle could crumble underneath me and end up with a useless ankle. I told him that i have CRPS to which he might aswell had laughed in my face to reply with WHO told you that, so I said my physio and he went on well with that aside you have very little change in the xray from 6 weeks ago. He is blaming all this on the fact that I smoke and I am not saying that I know it doesn't help but you would think that alarm bells would be ringing to the fact that my bones have changed that much on 10 weeks.
I have been told to wear the boot and try and have some time out of it walking (even though I have been told it could crumble) when asked how I know if I'm doing damage "You'll know" and that was that!
I really thought I was making progress with the CRPS the pain is slightly better and I have more ROM thanks to a great physio and now I am scared to walk on it.
Has anyone any idea why my foot is showing signs of osteoporosis in such a short space of time? I'm so worried I'm going to lose the use of my ankle or re-fracture it.
Many Thanks again Liz
