hallo my friend
i read your complete history
see i need to know which bone is fractured
its ideal time now for implant removal
you can remove your implant after confirming healed fracture
you have to again take rest for some weeks after implant removal
your pain will reduce and no need for pain killers
take calcium suppliment with vit D
for further query you can contact me atdrvaibhavg@yahoo.com
