Hi all-

My surgery last week went well. I'm healing nicely and recovering much sooner than I anticipated. I can put my whole weight on my leg, as well as walk on it with no restrictions.

What happened was this:

I had a small tear in the deep fascia in my left leg. This hole allowed for some of the muscle to "pour" through, when it shouldn't have. Much like when someone has a hernia. Upon seeing this, my doctor enlarged the hole in the fascia, so that my muscle wouldn't be constrained by such a tiny hole. Now, the hole isn't really supposed to be there, but since it is, it's better to enlarge the hole to allow deep muscle to flow closer to the surface of my leg, than to close the hole and create more pressure.

The surgeon told me that this happens frequently in people who have well defined muscle mass (I was a body-builder for six years until I developed ankylosing spondylitis).

Everything seems to be fine, so let's move on to the pics!

Here we can clearly see that the incision was about three inches long.

I would like to formally thank everyone who expressed their concern and well wishes. I appreciate the brotherhood that many of you try to exhibit in the forum.

EDIT: These pictures are not gory or bloody. They simply show the stitches that I've received, which are about 10.

I tried to play laying down (my PC is ultra portable) a day after the surgery, but I couldn't get into the groove. XIGN will tell you.

No, you can't. The only reason that I feel like mentioning, but there are many, is that those weren't my stairs.

Unless of course, you meant to post that with the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.

I am pretty sure the sarcasm tags dont work on the internet, or at least here.

Was it the grammar error I made? I might be harsh on people who have a problem typing correct English, but I don't mind the occasional typo and such.

You mean the accent mark? Then you must mean hipocresía
