Warning: Not for the faint-hearted.
I currently have a leg infection where my pin sites aren't healing properly. This is what they look like at the moment without the dressings:
 |
| This is halfway on my right side. It weeps quite a bit. |
 |
| Probably the worst is the right top pins by my knees. The Pin has moved so much it's creating a hole in my leg that isn't healing. |
 |
| This is on the left top pins by my knee. While it doesn't seem so bad from this angle, it's actually making a hole because of the pin on the other side (see above) |
 |
| This is the middle of my leg on the left. It's probably the best pins out of them all and isn't bleeding much. |
|
So I guess the next step is to see the dr and get on some more drugs and hope for the best. I'm in quite a bit of pain when I walk at the moment because everything heals over and as soon as I walk, it opens all back up.
Never mind though. Just got to keep thinking happy thoughts.
Hi Roxy Hope your infections clear up! I am still very new at this! Had my op 3 weeks ago. Started to tighten the screws twice a day 6 days ago. Have to lengthen the bone 5cm (so i am 1/2 cm done n dusted). Do you have alot of pain still? Yikes it is no joke when they say it is painful! Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!
