@Enco……I understand it is not a simple cure and generally involves a taskforce approach by multidisciplinary medical teams. I am hearing more about it in recent times from people I know. Maybe that is a sign of my own aging 🙂
All I’ve dealt with is the local hospital’s Emergency Center, the hospital Foot and Ankle clinic (now closed), the…[Read more]

Not sure what you mean Simon. If I was in a bad car wreck and broke my leg…..I wake up from a coma 3 months later. My bone is fully reset as it was a ‘clean break’ and to the point that I have no awareness that it was ever even broken.
