Re: Severe Arm Injury
Damn..I thought my arm was bad..had surgery almost 3 weeks ago - decompression of the ulnar nerve / cubital tunnel, Decompression of median nerve / Carpal Tunnel.. Ended up getting an infection in my elbow..was in hospital all last week..3 different antibiotics,percocet,vicodin..they removed some of the sutures and I have an open area that I was instructed to clean with swabs and peroxide..they removed the sutures from my wrist and the sutures that held the nerve in place in my elbow yesterday. now it's just heal..antibiotic..vicodin,naproxen.. I have a few pics..but not sure if worthy of DR..lol |
