Default tibia not knitting

i broke both bones in my lower left leg last october
tibia was plated lhe other bone becaus tfte
3 days after the op i had a stoke
e they said i didnt need it
my leg was itchy so i rolled back the bandage and a large roach ran out which left me a litle traumatised
inued
a k lath p witnded uer the leg was swollen and i ended up with infeotctions.

i was told imeso lay eggs deep down the drain hole and most had the leg amputated due to continued infection
aft contol
e al ses of antibiotics infections brought under control.

back home in uk i was told the hardware needed to come out and that i had infection again.
given 4 times the max dosage of antibioticss.

ing
next appointment was with the consultants assistant - told never had an infeciion, bone relying on plate and screws , bone moving but woulnds of the bone wi e it thed start to knit in 18 months. itis normal.



told by others, bone ends will turn to chalk if i leave it'

refered to physios who refused to do anything until bones knit.




would appreciate advice
