I've hear of people getting their knees done, hips, never heard of anles though, hopefully they have grease fittings?

How old are you bad ankle types?

 

Ask him if he'd come out to socal pro bono or thru my med.coverage, if it's a lifetime garantee...pain free,too. I have copies of a 2 yr.old mri, which my ankle has gotten worse since.

I'll be 43 soon.

 

Kaiser surgeon in, IIRC, Woodland Hills or Panorama City, Dr, David Kuhl, I believe...top notch.

 

I was in UCLA 2 yrs. ago under pacificare and at that time same story of fusion. Still same med.

Maybe this summer, go back to see if I can have this done....

 

just figured I would throw a name out there that does good work. I have worked in Surgery for 14 years and have seen plenty of hack jobs.... This guys is good at what he does and there are very vew orthopaedic surgeons that do foot/ankle work and even less that do total ankles. I just happen to know and work with one of the very few that does..... There are some podiatrists that do fusions also..... no thanks..... They should stick to the bunions.

 

36 years old here. been fighting it for nearly 10 years already. getting worse but too skeerd to have the procedure done and being down for 32 weeks (total for both sides) is not something I can afford nor would be able to handle.

 

Found the problem!!! I should of called DPS (Brett) in the beginning but I thought the problem was with the fuse/relay deal...

Brett told me to pull the wg plate to check the valves, see if anything looks out of the norm. BINGO!! One of the valve 'pins' broke and let the valves hang open, now I'll pull the turbo to check to see if that pinhead did any damage.

Oh, Bret (DPS) is sending me out a new housing on Mon.morning.....exellant customer service!!!

 

I know the feeling of going under the knife, plus taking a chance of the procedure malfuntion and coming out worse than you already are. Yeah, the chances are slim of that happening, but there is still a chance.....you do sign a release form before going in any operation....

 

Glad to hear you got it figured out, hope the turbo ids okay.

 

sweet. glad you found it. crossing fingers there is no damage!

 

know all to well about coming out worse than going in. had 2 surgeries for sleep apnea and ended up making me worse

 

My FIL has that... man, I feel for you. Do you wear the mask? Glad it ain't me, my wife would turn the bottle off...

 

I am supposed to wear the CPAP but the machine is old. I am headed to the VA when I get back from Idaho to get new set up. The kids and I have been here for the last 10 days on vacation.
