Hello everyone Need some help here.
Ok I just had surgery on aug 20th and since then i have been in soo much pain. I have gone thru quite a few pain killerz. See they took out a 3rd of my pattela tendon and two pieces of bone from my patella. then they drilled two small holes bout the size of a pencil eraser in my femur and tibula. then once they had everything where they wanted it they SCREWED it down. ..oh and they cut out some of my lateral minicus. ok back to the big story. bout 3 days post op i started to get a bad sign of infection REDNESS> so being the guy that iam i played it off thinkn it was a cool looking bruise. nope not my luck. so im just looking for someone with advice that can make my life a little more enjoyable..i do ice it all the time. i really dont know where im goin with this all i want is some encouragement or someone to share a good story with me if they have had this procedure done....thanks sorry for taking your time...smiles
