Over three years ago I broke my lower leg, both bones. Please read for advice
I had surgery and a rod installed in my tibia, and during my rehab I was given an ultrasound bone stimulator to help heal it quicker. I followed the doctor’s instructions to the letter. To this day the spot where I broke my tibia there is a callous on my skin that never heals. It gets pretty hard like a scab, but as soon as that scab heals it bleeds and opens up again. There is a bump where the bone healed, and it seems to me that the skin issue is a result of that bump sretching my skin. It’s either always painful or itchy. I keep it clean but it gets infected and inflamed often. I put lots of skin products on it, aquaphor baby ointment works the best. Anyone experience this after using a bone stimulator? Any advice? My surgeon and rehab team seem to be complacent about it.
