I'm about 6 months out from my RTKR now and doing okay. But sometimes I get a fairly sharp pain in the middle of my shin bone. What in the world could be causing that? I understand the occasional muscle pain that still comes because I sometimes don't work my legs out as much as I probably should. But why pain at the shin bone??? It's about midway down my leg and can come when I move a certain way or sometimes even when lying still in bed. Of course my worry is that there is something wrong with the prosthesis that was poked down into that bone. But my joint still feels strong when I put weight on it, so I'm telling myself that couldn't possibly be what causes this pain. Gosh, I hate to be such a sissy about some of these owies, but I am!
