I've got a metal plate in my leg from breaking my tib and fib about 14 years ago,then I broke my anckle 9 years ago and also have a plate screws etc in that also, both on the same leg Well about over a week ago I tripped over a small TV that was on the floor, I had no pain when it happened until now, a week later,the pain is on my leg which was operated on, it feels like a pulling kinda pain, or stretching, also my knee is hurting, I've had problems with that since my op, I can't kneel down to rest my leg,when I climb into bed hurts,or climb the stairs taking my baby to bed..I feelslike when it felt when I first broke it, but like It won't allow me to put pressure on it, I'm planning to see the doc if it's no better after another week, as I have 4 kids and want to try avoid it..or should I do it now, as I'm baffled really as in to why I had no pain at the time, only a week later, my boyfriend felt my leg and he said he could feel something like fleshy under my skin,
