I'm out with a spiral tibia/fibula fracture (those are both lower leg bones). It hurt worse that anything I could have imagined. I now have a 7" scar (with fun staple accessory scars), a 6" titanium plate, and 7 screws in my leg. I was wondering if any ladies have broken a bone and given birth, and which was more painful. I'm sure it depends on the break, but if it hurt as bad as my break, I don't know why anyone would have more than I child.
