Any severe ankle injures out there?
What are you doing for the pain?
Vioxx, Celebrex, or Vicodin.
A Base-jumping accident three years ago in Europe left me with severe arthritic pain in my ankle. After researching several options that included, Bone glue, Cadaver donor, Arthroscopic surgery, fusion, and total ankle replacement surgery. I’m going with the total ankle replacement made from titanium and high grade plastic. If there are others out there with ankle injuries or TAR’s I would like to hear from you. Check out http://www.anklejoint.com/ for more information on TAR’s

My dad had a TAR a couple years ago. After 40 some years of pain he was immediately better after the surgery. Now the limp is barely noticable. The rehab took a while but he was 65+ when he had it done.

Howmany trips (road trips not dope trips) and new rigs can you buy for the price of one new ankle? Is the other one alright?

Must be a fortune...... and I thought my ankle is in little pain.
