When we have bad weather or it gets cold outside, I think she has flare up's from the Osteoarthritis...it's happened before, but the pain meds normally always help, and this time they aren't  I don't know if it IS the Osteoarthritis that is causing the pain, or something else. I am just a nervous wreck. I wish the surgeon would hurry up and call me back! |
I was told the pins "could" break through the skin and then removing them would be easier....they'd just require an office visit. If they didn't break through the skin then they'd have to be surgically removed. Ask your Ortho when he calls back.
