Hi, I have spoke to a few of you lovely people before about my broken ankle/foot.

Well last night I had excruciating pain in my foot and it was going all the way up my leg past my knee. I went to the hosp today and they removed cast and done some X-rays it shows my foot isn't healing at all they have put my leg back in the cast but they are talking about manipulating my ankle into place they would normally operate but as I'm pregnant they don't want to. The cast has been on for nearly 3 weeks but has been a complete waste of time I feel like I will be like this forever has anyone else had this problem where the bones aren't healing?? Im worried sick will my foot ever be ok??? And how painfull will manipulating it be? I had a melt down in the hospital, they wanted to put the cast a bit past my knee so it would be a full leg cast I can't cope with the one up to my knee as it is and what's the point when they will be taking it off again for manipulation! So stressed and upset at the moment so sick of not being able to walk!!! I am worried there is something wrong with my bones as I have had a broken arm before too!

I broke both my wrists when I was younger and my left one wouldn't heal as all the bones had broken. I had a general anaesthetic to manipulate it both times though and ended up with it in a funny position for 6 weeks, it healed fine then.

Are they just going to do it with you awake?
