I went back to the doctor's today. He said that I had progressive bone growth which means that the bone growth is getting thicker and healing but it is not all the way healed. The bone has still a crack. The doctor watched me walk and asked if I walked with a limp all the time. And the answer is YES! He asked about the pain. I still live with pain everyday. Sometimes the pain is worse than other days but the pain is always there. I told him I was was concerned because the pain seems to be getting higher in the leg. He said there was no indication that there was a problem on the x-ray. He said that if the pain gets worse or it gets to the point it is unbearable to contact him and they will do a bone scan which gives more detail of the bone to make sure there isn't a weak spot in the bone that could lead to another fracture. But he thought that it looked good and he thought that I was walking well even though I limp. He said to keep walking, swimming, doing water aerobics and being active. He said to come back in 9 months to see him again. So I am healing but slowly.
So I got good news but I just wish that the pain and the limping would go away but all in time.
