Another Operation for John

Following his ankle fusion in mid 2024, John has suffered extreme pain in his foot. Very different from his arthritic pain but still debilitating. 

His surgeon felt that the upper part of his ankle bone had not vascularised around the pin and so suggested one pin being removed and a larger one put in. 

So today he went into St Richards for another day surgery. 

After looking at the X-rays it appears that the surgeon removed the old smaller screws and added 3 larger ones. 

He’s now got a big boot on and 6 weeks signed off work.  So hoping this will reduce his pain.
