I’ve read your posts, you’ve done a lot of excessive exercising, like walk/jog many miles a day, squats with 200+ pound weights, play intensive sports. You should just stay with recommended exercises by your PT and doctor.
He's far from consolidation phase brotha. He got x-rays in March and they were essentially almost consolidated. He's definitely consolidated by now But yes I agree perhaps he's overdoing it, probably should train hard after rod removal but for now keep it easier. I just suspect it's just a screw hitting a nerve. Rod removal will probably be what Movie needs, obviously in no rush later is better than sooner for things like this. But the hardware is probably causing this stuff

Bro my heart dropped when I read the 10/10 pain! Praying that you’re feeling better now. Take it easy with exercises etc. What did your dr say about it?
All the best man
Damn Movie, sorry to hear that fam. I would kick back on excessive exercising until the nails out.
I hope you feel better bro, you should schedule getting the rod taken out, because I agree it could have hit a nerve.
Keep us updated bro
Thanks everybody for your kind and encouraging words... pain is much more manageable now, but yes It's the stupid rods because the intense pain was a combination of both hip pain and knee pain by where the screws are so for sure the screws/rods are messing with me still! the pain started as soon as I stepped down from a step, after walking several miles a bit tipsy lol ... but yeah I haven't scheduled rod removal because I can't travel to Greece as of yet, due to covid 
, but I'm considering going with Debiparshad for rod removals now if It doesn't seem to clear up by around december/january to go with giotikas, I really don't want these rods in me anymore, and neither does my body.
Did you do anything specific to troubleshoot through the pain? Like any stretches, medication, resting, etc.?
Is there an option to just remove the screws before removing the entire rod?

hey movie
is it that much cheaper to go with debiparshad than dr m?
in theory any old orthopod could remove your nails? couldnt you find a cheaper option at home?
@Movie: I've heard of some possibility of insurance covering rod removal, but no one has ever confirmed. I feel like a lot of people actually stop coming here before rod removal even happens, so we have less anecdotal information about it than the surgery itself!
@brondo, about 4-5 tylenol's extra strength in a period of 2 hours and ice 
@Hobbes: I don't think so.
@wannabeidol: Yep Dr. M Quoted me about 21k total, Debiparshad quoted 14k total, in Greece I'd be looking at around 9.2K total (7,800 Euros)
@BelowTheMean: Yes some insurances could remove it but mine wouldn't cover the removal of these cosmetic rods unfortunately.
Movie Dr. D said it was 12k but maybe it’s because I did the surgery with him? I’m not sure. I can probably look into it
