Warning - if you are already scared of TTO surgery or are having one sometime soon, meaby you should skip this one

I had tto 7 weeks ago. All went well, i lissed to the doctors, didnt do anything i wasnt allowed to etc etc. Then 5 days after the surgery i made a slight move with my leg, not even noticable, while laying down in bed, with my leg stuck in a straight cast. but i felt a pop and a lot of pain. I went to the ER and they told me notting was wrong ( even though at this time there was already a huge crack in my bone and nobody fucking saw it)

so i went back home. The next day, i was laying in bed and slightly activated my quats. Felt the same pop but more extreme and felt like something shifted and lots of pain. So the day after i went to the hospital again, to find out, that the piece of my tibia that they moved. Broke in 2 pieces and got lose from the screws and was just floating around in my leg. So cauce my kneecap wasnt being held down by anything anymore since tendon wasnt conected to my tibia anymore, my kneecap also was just kinda floating around way to high and way to the side.

Nobody understands how this happend to me. I didnt do anything out of protocol and i was exualy extremely carefull. But yea this fucking sucked.

I had another surgery 2 weeks after the original one where they put the pieces of bone back in its spot and also put multple screwes/bridges in my tendon. I am now 5 weeks post of from that seccond surgery and still in a lot of pain tbh

Anyways i know this is a super rare case and ive never heard of this happening to anyone before so i am just wondering if there are stories like mine out there

Im not sure if this is the right place for this question, but im just gonna ask.

I had surgery 7 weeks ago where they sew off a piece of your tibia and move it to a difrent place and put it back with 2 pins. 5 days after the original surgery the piece of bone broke in 2 while i was laying still in bed. ( still no explanation to why this happend) so i had another surgery 5 weeks ago where they put the pieces of bone back together with screws and also put some screws in my tendon since the pieces of bone where attached where attached to the tendon.

Now the shitty thing is, i slipt and fell yesterday. I was able to put minimal weight on my leg during the fall, and i fell on my butt/back, but obviusly the bone still got quite a hit.

Now the fall itself didnt hurt and my bone imidatly after also didnt hurt. But halve an hour after the fall my bone started hurting more and more until now its excualy pretty damn bad.

I called both the er yesterday and the doctors office today and they both sayd that since my pain wasnt extreme i had to wait a few days. But im pretty stressed that 1. It broke again. Or 2. The fall fucked up my healing process and now its gonna take even longer.

Anyone got some advice on what to now? Or is able to calm me down lol

like the titel says, i am 5 week post up this tuesday. And i went outside on my cruches but the tiles where slippery and my cruches slipt and i fell. I tried to avoid leaning on my leg or landing on it wich i mostly did but not fully. I didnt hear anything pop or felt extreme pain or anything and in able to move my ankle with barely any pain. However i do feel a bit of a increase in pain in the piece of bone. Do you think i need to go check it out?

So i had knee surgery 4 & 6 weeks ago. I am in a bed in the living room( i still life at home ) so im constantly around lots of noises and smells and lights. I am also barely getting outsite and having no excersise. And i noticing my migraines getting worse and worse. Besides the fact that this is already awfull cuz migraines are awfull and i also cant rest since i am stuck in the living room. I am also scared that this is now my new reality. Basicly a constant 8-10/10 migraine. I am still stuck in bed in the living room for at least 3 more weeks. But probelby more like 4/5 so if anyone has any advice for me i would rlly apriciate it!
