Re: Just discovered some info I wish I had known 4 years ago...

Thanks and ,

As I've thought further about this post, I just don't see how bone

bruising can be a result of the band as the pressures of the band are

so gentle and I honestly don't see how the pressures are more than

that of sleeping on a firm mattress.

To the other :

I would think that if there is bone bruising that is visible that it

might want to be checked out by an MRI or something to rule out

something more serious. I would also think if the bone bruising was

noticeable to someone that didn't know about the plagio that you would

have possibly seen the bruising prior to 4 years later?
