Have nonunion- 3rd met after orif 7 mths ago for nonunion. dr says putting more weight on it will help healing but sore/swollen and also crps. advice?

CRPS MGMT: Is the CRPS associated w/ your foot surgery? CRPS is very, very serious! I would refer you to a formal pain management clinic well versed in CRPS treatment ASAP! Regarding your surgery, it sounds like, w/o the benefit of x-rays-that a 2nd revisional surgery is warranted. 7 months truly defines non-union. Good luck. Dr. Latva
