How did you get an infection with Precice?

[LIVELIFETHEWAYIWANT]

Its on the right side middle entry wound , where they break the bone .
there was a tiny dry blood clot on the skin after I removed my bandage and I did not replace a new one .

couple days later , I notice the area is slightly swollen when I was out getting some sun light to boost my V-D level . so I applied pressure around it , tiny yellowish discharge from the wound like a pimple .

then I test the doctor's office , they wrote me an antibiotic for 7 days , I went to grab it and took it , the wound was healed .

well , out of 14 entry wounds , 4 screws , nail insert wound , IT band wound , bone breaking wound . On each side . there is only one has a minor infection . Cant complain at all . =D

I was surprised that you can get an infection even with the Precice... It's good that it healed

So it took you 8/9 months to walk with a crutch? I thought most Precice users were walking around 6 months post op with a crutch?

Depends on person to person bro.

the precise weight bearing 150lbs , I'm 190 lbs . there are ppl who can walk around in crutch within 4 months , if you are strong enough .

In my case , I was just lying down to be safe .  my legs were 80% and 85% when my doctor cleared me for walking with walker and crutch, so 6 and half months to be cleared . you can say that i was not walking at all , but my bone healed enough to support my weight after 6 and half months .

BUT , after I was cleared for walking , my right leg went from 85% to 100% real fast , in 4 weeks .

left leg is 85% right now , but I am able to walk without assist in the house , so next Xray should be 100% on both legs !!
