I'm continuing to wear the cam boot per my dr. for 3 more weeks. My question is, while I don't have constant pain, it still hurts sometimes, with a bit of a sharp 'twinge' that comes and goes. Nothing that I need pain medicine for. Is this part of the normal healing process and will this go away completely? I know 10% of these procedures don't fuse and that pain that comes and goes has me a bit paranoid. Thanks.<br />jimmyjamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464803877485349404noreply@blogger.com
