ive had key hole surgery on my knee where my cartalidge snapped and span round to the back of my leg taking a bit of my knee cap with it, though 1st time they did a great job until my leg locked and they had to operate again except they never unlocked my leg so i find it hard to kneel down as my leg just doesnt bend that far anymore

and ive been asking for 4 years now to have my stomach moved back into place as i have a hiatus hernia where my stomach is above my gullet but they wont do it

Had surgery on my leg couple of years ago, wont be posting photos tho as its top of leg !

Then went in last year for another minor op.

So nothing serious and not as painful as some of the above !

Nothing special really, just a hernia removal when I was 9 years old.

Most recently, some minor bits and pieces - having four puncture wounds sewn up after being bitten by a staffy, and two lipoma removals.

Instead of conventional stitches, they threaded wire underneath the skin, and secured it there with the beads!

When it was time to come out, they snipped one of the beads and pulled the wire out of the opposite end!

It was supposed to reduce scarring i think?!

I use cica-care scar gel sheets which are good for keloids or young pink scars.

sounds like i need to explain lol

cunt x was going out with a bird. her sister was going out with a mate. sister drove to club one night and i tagged a lift.

cunt x was jellous so told his mate cunt y

cunt y approached from my blind spot (ie i wasnt taking any notice) and lamped me one for no reason (other than his gay mate told him to)

i lost a pint of blood and went to hospital in the club owners audi s3, and bled on the leather lol

thats about it.

When I was younger the blood vessels inside my body decided to bleed. I don't remember much from it apart from trying to go to the toilet, but I couldn't support my body and almost fell over alot. The nurse helped me to the toilet and I can remember how cold the floor was when I struggled to walk on it. I can also remember being injected in the foot and put to sleep for an op. Have no idea of anything else that happened.

Had 2 ops for breaking my right arm. First time I broke 1 bone and 2nd time 2 bones. I was told next time I would need a plate fitted.

No photo's as I was 7 when I broke my arm and younger when the blood vessels went pop.

Um I've had internal pins and plates in two places in my fore arm - internal plates in my upper arm. A rod placed in my leg and pinned at the hip(top) and around the knee(bottom) Surgery for my cruciate ligament. Surgery to reconstruct part of my hand. Surgery for a Skin graft. Then surgery to remove most of the above too. One more operation to be done to reset my wrist which needs a small op then I'm planning on giving up on the whole operations carry on.

I've always been stapled back together - I didn't mind removal of them. In one instance I removed staples that held the skin together that ran the length of my bicep, due to a cock up with the hospital not giving me an appointment for removal of them. I just used a set of nail clippers to cut the staple in two and then houked out the other half x (quite a lot).
I did have pics and put them up a while back, I've since lost them so not much to show other than tasty scars - I like them they tell a story

Morphine serves its job well especially when you can self administer by pressing the button every so often to increase the dose.

**Edit**
Nearly forgot I needed surgery around the groin area(just opened up really) so they could repair the femoral artery which I severed.

Not had anything major.

Had my tonsils out when I was young, and an arthroscopy on my left knee after a motorbike accident which left me unable to walk properly (and still cant ) and found I had snapped the crucia(sp?) ligament, caused cartilage damage and damaged my kneecap. Nowhere near as bad as some peoples injuries granted but bad enough for me!

I've been told that I may have to have my knee reconstructed as it has recently started to cause me problems and the knee cap keeps dislocating on a regular basis. Joy.

madsi very similar to my forearm breaks and pretty much the same location too, both the ulna and radius too - you dont do things by halves. Bike accident same as myself. How long back? does it still cause you bother??
Cool having your own copys of your x-rays, i've recently writen off for a copy of mine too, seems to be taking weeks though.
