I know exactly what you mean... I had a miss-diagnosed severe ankle injury in 2004, diagnosed as a class 3 sprain, bone was actually split up the middle. After 8 weeks the MRI finally showed it. Had to have surgery to re-break and pin, and a big incision on my hip where they got bone material to graft in.

Took me until last year before I could walk without a noticeable limp. Lost ALL my lower body strength, even with all the therapy.

But hey.. I'm enjoying learning to swing the clubs all over again too!
