The hardware implants in his ankle may need to come out, but surgery is a big decision of course. Thanks all.

I have CRPS2 and spreading. Early on, wthin a year....I had hardware taken out. Update from my neurologist, surgery is a last option. I have compressed nerves in my neck and unless this is a health risk, his professional opinion is unless it's life threatening it's best to monitor.
I am also older. So I am sure that comes into play.
Hope this helps.
