Wow.... I feel for you Randy. I am not a Dr. and can't give any medical info, but can and will say a few prayers for you. I do know that healing is much slower than when we were in our 30s and 40s.
Good luck to you.

it is true it takes a lot longer to heal the older you get.That said you should ask your doctor for a referral to a good bone specialist.My wife had a broken elbow that would not heal,and when it started the break was becoming a joint and the joint was fused.She seen a top notch specialist in Ottawa and had her elbow completely repaired with surgery and cadaver bone as well as some plates. Get a referral to a top notch specialist.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Randy, Broke my left ankle 2 1/2 years ago. Did not have surgery but wore the Darth Vader boot for six months. Had some physical therapy that helped. Recovery time is hard to say for by the time the boot came off I had completely gone bone on bone with the right knee. Had the knee replaced and after a couple of years I am able to go at it again. Hang in there and keep the faith! Roy Greenfield

Im starting physical ther. monday.Hopefully they will have some answers.I couldnt imagine going thru this pain for 2 yrs. Im retired we fish an ave. of 4 days a wk.and I havent missed a trapping season in 60 yrs.Im very active and this is very hard on me. Well PT is never any fun but it is something you really need to do to heal correctly. I'm no doc but I did spend 13 months in the hospital with broken bones. PT was miserable but it sure helped in the long run. Hope you get some relief soon !
