Sounds like you had pretty good recovery! I have all kinds of pins and rods and plates in me but so far, I’ve never been able to predict the weather based on the strange aches and pains lol. The only two things that seem to upset my leg is racing motorcycles (putting almost all of your weight on the inside footpeg), or that leg machine where you pull the weight down and back under your butt. Other than that, I have no real complaints
