Tough lesson learnt

[medhatg]

DAMN!

Glad they caught it skin level and hopefully you're all good!

I'm notoriously bad at changing bed sheets, but I am good about clean underwear.

Wonder what the incision will be like compared to a vasectomy.... I had about a dime size incision on my scrotum from that procedure.
Healed up nicely in about a month.

Don't mind me just over here pondering things.

The incision will be bigger than a vasectomy for sure. It will look quite large at the beginning as the scortum is quite swollen then it will shrink to about 1" in my case after healing.

Matt,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you are on the mend and have no further problems. I am sure that was scary, but glad you caught it early. Keep us updated on your recovery.

The Va cut my vestibular nerve in 05. I have Menieriers. Balance is not bad now. The ringing is still there and I am com0letly deaf on right side

[ThePlumber1964]

Oh, I also suffer from a severe case of Menieres since I was 36; totally disabled since then since it is bilateral. I was never recommended to cut the cochlear nerves since they runs intertwined with the hearing ones, and at such young age I did not want to go deaf.

I was down to 10% hearing in that ear. All I could hear was noise It was the vestibular nerve not cochlear

The cut a section of skull nuerosurgeon lifted brain. One of them cut the nerve the put a piece of bovine mesh 8n to support the brain

[medhatg]

Thank you for your support. After 6 days of high dose anti-biotic, the infection has cleared out and I no longer feel any pain the groin. It was a close call, but thank God, it is gone now. Lessons learnt again: go to emergency if you suspect anything. Better safe than sorry. Any pain in the groin could be an indication that the lymph nodes are reacting to an infection nearby.

So glad to hear that things have improved, medhatg!
