Hip Infection to the Bone
this is my hip infection. started 9-09 as a skin infection that was being treated then by 3-10 I had another dr look at it because healing came to a standstill. He said I was to possibly loose my leg up to and including part of my pelvis. It was all tissue infection and he saved me!

Re: Hip Infection to the Bone
Not everyone lets things get that way! Sometimes things have to look worse before they can get better.. How did your hip get infected in the first place? |

Re: Hip Infection to the Bone
at first I thought it was a skin infection. It was hot, hard and dry skin. The dr ruled out cancer and began scrapping what he thought was infected tissue. X-rays, MRIs, and scans did not reveal anything major and it seamed to be healing, slowly. Then I started getting fevers that went away with oral antibiotics and Tylenol. One Saturday I awoke with a fever that I could not get under 103 for more than thirty minutes then it would spike again. I went to the er and just by luck the head of ortho-trauma was my dr. I was told I was septic and probably would not have made it had I stayed home. I was in for ten days the first go then six the second. Three surgeries removed two large pockets pf puss and infection. At first he said he would be removing my femur because it was likely infected. Luckily it was not. I am home now and still on antibiotics three times a day I.V. |
