I Was In a Car Accident

I was involved in a car accident in 2013. My bone came out of the side of my right leg and my other leg was not as bad. I did spend time in a wheelchair which I did not like. I crushed my ankle and now have difficulty walking. This has caused my quality of life to decline. I have pain a lot and my ankle is always swollen. I get very angry and am not able to get over this since I am reminded constantly of it.

I certainly sympathise with you. Does physical therapy help at all? Wishing you the very best.

@GJOFJ3 I actually did not go to physical therapy. I had no insurance. I re-learned to walk on my own. I am thinking about going to a new orthopedic surgeon to get a second opinion. I can exercise on a stationary bike since it is in a controlled environment and I can use my better leg more if need be. Thank you for the good wishes. :)

@lovebutterflyangel a second opinion would be a great idea.
