Thanks for the reply physio2. Since my last thread, I have actually been going in for daily treatments using the bone stimulator for the last 2 1/2 weeks. My awesome physio ended up organising one through one of the AFL clubs - at no charge. No change as yet..but we will continue to do it for a little while yet. I realise that surgery is the last option - but I have been complete non weight bearing (on crutches) for the last 6 months - so the surgeon sees this as the only way forward - as there has been no improvement at all. I am just hanging out to start walking again and get my life back! Hopefully the surgery will provide this.
