Surgical plate/screw moved 3 months after surgery
Broke my collarbone in March. Had to get 7 screws and a plate in to fix it as it was badly broken and right near the shoulder joint.
Was going great, rehab/physio guy was very impressed at my progress, got clearance for the the gym. Was doing dumbbell bent over rows with 25 lbs (1 week ago). Felt something give in my shoulder, not much pain just really weird. Got home and my plate or a screw was sticking out and a new bone is now showing. It feels like the entire bone shifted a bit and the plate is in a new position.
I got some xrays the next day and the doctor said that they look ok. Problem is now that I don't think I will be able to wear a pack with how rough my shoulder is, lots of discomfort and pain, it feels like the alignment is all out of whack now. Lots of constant pain in the joint, where the screw/plate is sticking out hurts a lot as well.
Is this something that would require more surgery? Any tips for pleading my case with the surgeon?
Super bummed, no wakeboarding this summer.......
Big problem with plates and screws in foot
I had midfoot fusion two months ago. My foot is absolutely killing me and I am going to beg the doctor to remove them. I can barely walk.
has anyone else had this problem especially so soon? Did you remove it!
Thank you.
