when i was 18 i shattered my ankle...they couldnt fix it so they replaced it with a metal ankle but had to go without and ankle at all for a day still my ankle arrived. My scars a pretty much gone but it took over a year to recover. Also have done both knees and now i need my wrists done. Just had my hip fixed as i had ripped 2 ligaments to shreds cause i had to walk around and work with the pain for 9 months as they didn't know what was wrongs cause nothing came up on the scans. So they went in surgically and found what was wrong after i had already had 2 quaterzone injections and they didn't work at all. What was worse is that i was meant to go to the Olympics as an official for tae kwon do but couldn't as i have taken steroids for my hip
