hey guys,
I went to see my ortho specialist this morning and asked him about removing the rod and bolt from my femur. He said that they recommend not to and complications could be rebreaking the bone and possible infection. I know any surgery can have its complication so it scares me a lot but I also don't enjoy the daily discomfort in the hip as the top of the rod seems to rub near my butt. I was wondering what people suggest and if they have good outcomes from removing all hardware? he also said bone marrow would take 2 years to fully develop back and he wouldn't suggest riding until then if I had the surgery.
any help would be much appreciated as it is a hard decision
cheers boys
