are you moving much ? standing ,walking ..etc???

well if yes try to minimize that as much as you could till the pain will decrease ....


for the infection usually there will be some discharge from the pin site ..  whether it's clear liquid or the yellow one "pus" , usually when it's yellow then it's most properly sign of an infection ... also with infection you would experience some redness and warm of skin surrounding pin site area .. or fever .. but since you used to take paracetamol I'm not sure you would feel the fever ....

now I minimise.. walking, and standing, etc

I've no discharge but the tenderness is insane I am now on antibiotics.

I did feel very unwell before I started antibiotic..

pain reaches 8/10 sometimes... it is quite scary how much pain an infection can bring U

after the antibiotics I am now doing well.. no more pain most of the time ..

What do you do if you have a pinsite infection and you take antibiotics and just when you finished with antibiotics and got rid of the pinsite infection you immediately get another pinsite infection - Do you then immediately start take antibiotics again?

You should take antibiotics any time an infection is present. When I had a clear infection, Dr. Parihar would give me oral antibiotics that would last a week and told me to take them until they ran out, even if I saw that the infection had lessened or didn't appear to be present anymore.

welll...


im not gonna laugh or say i told you so...


but i never lied about bagirov,unlike....

the frames are too small... i had very large muscles and the frames were very tight...

you probably gained a little bit of weight and because these frames have literally no room for error, they get super tight


i mean... i could not put anything between the frame and my leg, it was touching my leg

you will definitely have to take  oral antibiotics constantly until the frames are off..

i also noticed when i had the frames on... i could never raise my leg... even after 4 months... as soon as i had frames removed... voila..  i then  could move my legs

every dr i went to with the frames on  mentioned how crappy and tiny the frames were
but you already went to bagirov, so...

just take pain meds and antiobiotics


life will suck until the frames are off
