just got back from my Pre op. all seems to be going well and hoping to be just a day case with 2-6 weeks on crutches dependent on how much Bone needs to be removed which they will not know until the op for a update this is what I have Osteophyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and the reason for the 3rd op, first on the left leg int he past 4 years
Glad it went well. & it sounds extremely painful (just the picture on wikipedia made me wince). When I read pre-op, I though you had 'something' to tell us.....from Wednesday I will be Melinda
lol no had 2 ops on my right hip and now the left. this is going to be a smaller op than my first which was a right bitch I have pics of it somewhere if someone wants to see. ahh hell I may just post them up
Good luck with it mate, I have a DVD of one of my knee ops, all of the inside pulling on my ligaments etc to show me the condition of it all. It's quite interesting but a crew of my mates won't watch it
Ok others have a better scare, Dans I'm thinking but heres mine from the past few years NKS NWS and had that Gash open twice for 2 ops.
Good luck pal .. Those staples look painful . I wonder if they will stitch your flesh with dissolvable's and just glue the top layer like they did with my back . Leaves such a neat scar its unreal
I have the same scar on hip and a matching one on front top of my thigh from when they screwed and plated me
The staples were not that bad, hurt for the first few days if you moved and they did not. I think the reson forthm is how thick the skin and muscle around that area so the need to use a few staples to hold it closed
Oooooouuuch! Fairplay for keeping your chin up mate & fingers crossed, touch wood, you'll be all sorted.
