I've been using crutches for the past 3.5 weeks. During the weekdays, I usually don't leave the hotel (I'm living in a hotel) unless for like small groceries or occasionally stretch the legs. On Friday/Saturday nights and sometimes during lunch, I use crutches to go out drinking / dinner / partying. But mostly use taxi's to travel around.

The second screw in my right leg so far as I can tell has not broken (based on my two leg lengths still being equal). I'm due for an x-ray next week so I'll post it once I get it.

Also my walking gait sadly has reversed given I basically haven't walked or stretched for 3.5 weeks.

So has 10mm nail thinner screws compared to 11,5mm nail? Are you saying that wouldn't be happen with 11,5mm nail?

Why they didn't give 11,5 nail to m7laim?

Darn dude. Glad the screw is fine and your gait will be much better once this whole consolidation is done. You'll get there man and it's good your still going out on Fridays that's good mentally. Hopeful for a fast recovery 💪🏻

Did x-rays yesterday. Links below (right side is yesterday, left side is 4 weeks). To be honest, I cannot see any difference at all before and after but Giotikas says there are clear signs of progression. He says I should stay on crutches for another 6 weeks after which I can probably get off.

Crutches is now driving me insane as I cannot walk outside properly.

Hi everyone, my bones are consolidated and so I have been given approval to get off crutches. Thank the lord. So back to normal life. X-rays below - not sure what happened in the last 4 weeks but much quicker than the previous 4 weeks.

Congrats, m7liam! At the level of consolidation in those X-rays are you approved to start jogging or running as well?

Not yet. Doctor said one more month for running.
