Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Re: new here/Bonnie I developed a hernia (or it got worse) after dropping a heavy box and trying to " catch " it.... it was sooooo painful that I needed the surgery to repair it. I have mesh holding it together. I also have mesh/donor tissue holding up my prolasped bladder. That surgery was done along with a total hysterectomy in Jan 2003. In Oct 2002 I had my gallbladder removed. Nothing like having 3 surgeries in less than 6 months!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Re: new here/Bonnie last question I have for now is one the skin tearing easily, not healing well, etc... any ideas on this? what you all do to get things to heal up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Slow healing is an other trait of EDS. When I get paper cuts or other skin tears, I have to use triple antibiotic ointment for it to heal. Other EDSers have had some terrible healing issues.... Time is the best medicine. I've had staph infections from minor procedures and have had to take oral antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
