Thanks. I didn't know they could be duplicated. I do think it is important that I have them to show to my doctors wherever I end up.

Yeah... Ostemomyelitis would suck... I guess there are likely to be costs and benefits... It might be the case that the high impact stuff I do (dancing which consists mostly of jumping) is just the thing to rebuild bone density in the areas that were shattered. It might be that the dislocation can be fixed now that the shattered areas are harder etc. There might be... Some things that can be done :-)

I can't afford to look into it just now... But I have been thinking of being a bit intensive with the physio exercises (I had stopped doing them thinking that I'd be making them degenerate further the more I used them). But I'll do what I can to strengthen the ligaments etc... Picking up marbles and screwing up towels with my feet and standing on my tippy toes etc... And maybe one day... With a little health insurance... Something like a joint replacement could give me more mobility back :-) I'd really like to be able to play tennis (for fun) whereas at the moment I can't run... I don't mean super competitive... But just being able to run around the court a little more (at a fairly relaxed pace) would be awesome :-)
