I'm sorry for what you have been through and for the lack of responses.
You might find more activity on the chronic pain forum.

You have been through a lot for a 22 yr old away from home.
Yes, we have all been through a lot but in different ways.

We could all tell you horror stories.
I've been trying to get some help from work comp for 5 years.
I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to pharmacies and even more to doctors, outpatient surgery centers and have a lawyer who won't even call me back or help me. I suffer horrible pain. But I do have a spouse to lean on.
I live in denial a lot of the time and I think it is because what is happening in my real life is so horrible.

Of course my problems don't help yours at all.
I do hope your leg heals properly and the arthritis doesn't cause you too much pain, esp since summer is coming.

Please take good care of yourself.........Hope
