don't you mean a pain in the leg?

Seriously though, get well soon!
...Untill then, you need to find a wheelchair and have someone push you around for all the moving shots! (it's fun!)

You may want to pickup a tube of Loctite (blue). A drop of this on the threads will stop the screws from backing off, but still allow removal. If the screw will not be removed ever, Loctite (red) will lock it.

For the $$$, you'd think they'd have done that for you....
