Out of hospital

Not in any way medically qualified, just know a bit about one or two medical conditions. What I'd like to know in Jon's case is what triggered it. Necrosis is only ever seen in a pathological setting, which is why the normal reading is so low. In fact the only setting I know of other than those mentioned is the centre of solid tumours; blood supply is highly disorganised so the centre of the tumour starves of oxygen and goes necrotic. You get the picture- it's difficult to connect that with swollen ankles. If I'd just been to hell and back like Jon, I'd want to know why.

 

I'll take your word for it Kev, it's a mystery to me, so hope Jon finds out why?

 

Jon

Unbelievable story - glad it looks like a happy ending.

I hope you take the time as Kevin suggests to find out all the facts about the causes.

Good luck with the F40.

 

****in hell, sounds pretty scary

Glad your on the mend!

 

Hi mate,

Glad you're on the mend, and here's to a speedy return to full health and, naturally, a speedy return to enjoying the finer things in life.

All the best
Jamie

 

Some may recall that whenever one has an ankle injury - it is written that one should elevate their ankle. But to how high? Above the heart. Ideally - for 48 hours. That's a long time, but there is a reason.

My initial thought was and remains the onset owed in large part to the ankle(s) injury, as the ankle area is where our "second" heart (pump) is. In my minds eye, the tandem of this injury with any manner of intangibles such as any amount (it needn't be much) of beer or the like containing some alcohol - set off a chain reaction - like dominoes.

If your Doctor didn't share these tidbits with you, share them with him/her and any other medical professional who acts mystified. It'll get the cause/effect/treatment and most importantly - you - rolling a whole last faster, let alone, save you from pumping worries, time and money away.

 

that is awful, glad ur on the way to recovery mate, good luck with the f40, make sure you let us all know and post pictures!!

Woza.

 

There could be a compelling case for a pharmacological cause, but sometimes the human body does bizarre things; sometimes for good and sometimes for bad.

 

Glad your'e OK now. Good luck for the longer term.
