May 28 I spiral fractured my left tibia and broke a piece off. Sprained my right ankle. They put 2 plates in my left ankle. Not sure how many screws. Apparently I did more than sprain my right ankle even though nothing showed up on the xrays. A week later on June 5 I was walking with my crutches and my right ankle bone "popped". Spiral fracture of my right tibia. 1 plate and 8 screws in it. I'm now walking with a cane and only wearing lace up ankle braces for support.

It sucks, but I'm healing faster than I expected. Still hurts. I was prescribed Percoset but didn't take it very long. Now I just take 500mg of acetominophin and 200mg of ibuprofin at the same time. It works. God speed on your healing.
