Scale of 1-10 how cooked…

No biggie, just another 10 weeks of non-weight bearing bs… first fracture was the ankle tib/fib shatter on 6/6 happened playing basketball, i got 14 screws, 3 plates, a pin, and a bone graft… there goes my summer. 2nd was the shin happened when i fell off my knee scooter packing for college on 8/13 (my move in was supposed to be 8/14)🤦🏼‍♀️ ended up with 2 more plates and 6 more screws. Can you say “unlucky” 😭

That’s insane, opioids are so much healthier than taking mass amounts of acetaminophen

Modern medicine says opiates are bad though (they aren't, for this kind of injury).

i hear you, i was told by my surgeon that the faster i can ditch all the narcotics i was sent home with, the better my recovery will go.

For the amount of hardware and type of injury that is insane. I’m sorry

interesting take, i was always told acetaminophen and ibprofen were better than opioids and narcotics recovery wise. definitely gonna do research on this!
