Suggest Treatment For Pain In Calcaneus Bone Caused Post Placement Of Titanium Rod
Hello, I am in pain everyday...I have fibromyalgia, Diabetes (Victoza pen) and last July I shattered my calcaneus bone. I have a titanium plate and 8 screws. I have had many setbacks including a staph infection, and a drug eruption from the drip IV....I have only been walking about 3 months now....I was just put on grailise and so far no relief? I am not sure where I can go from here? I appreciate you advice...Thank u
