Hi Doug
and welcome to TBN. On a serious note, me and the junkman aren't always serious and sometimes cause troubles. but being serious here, you sound like a young man who just went through mutliple operations (16 breaks).. I'm in my 50's and have gone through the same thing basically after being shot in the legs three times by three different large calibers. As we age, leg problems go along with it. I've had my fair share and then some. You can always PM if you have any questions. I may be able to help and then again maybe not. I'm no doctor and don't pretend to be. But one never knows. Over the years this happened, then that, then, then,, I would be willing to at least tell you what was done for me, if you have an unusual circumstance that comes up.. I still have the original leg. It may be 40% plastic on the inside, but it's still the original one. My biggest saving grace was getting in the habit of swimming, and doing this a lot. Anyway, welcome to TBN, enjoy it..
