Ultra sound shows that there are 4-6 pockets of deep subteraniuos (sp?) fat that have torn through the sheath of muscle that the other muscles are held in.
Potential surgery, but find out on the 16th. |

| If you do need surgery I might set up a club for people who can't go snowboarding this winter because they've had some kind of leg surgery! Tore my achilles in October and finally now out of plaster and sporting a rather fetching orthopaedic boot which is arguably the 21st century alternative to a wooden leg. |

| I'd love to get out there this winter but given that this injury will have stopped me from walking for over 4 months and kept me off work for 6 weeks I don't want to run the risk of snapping it again and missing the whole of the summer too! |

lumpy leg update - Crural Fascial Hernia - so 7 perforations through the crural fascia which is like a thick layer of leather between the skim/fat and the tissue/muscles underneath.
There are holes in the layer for blood vessels to pass through, I have suffered a trauma where the tissue has been forced from the inside out...not common apparently....at all... |

So...the scans show internal scaring of the muscles, going outwards, which indicates there has been some flex in the bones (which the radiologist says are the densest he has seen in 19 years).
Referral to a very good sports physio who works with the osteopath to look at strengthening/realigning without surgery...however all agree this will make little difference.
Looking at surgery post the trip to France in March, then lengthening the tears and quarterising the ends, so still a lumpy leg but without pressure on the tissues...
12 week recovery time. :S |

It's been a while....
It looks like there is no surgucal option, I've now seen 2 physios, 2 consultant vascular and they all say that sucessful surgery is unlikely...which I'm struggling with as you would cuase this damage if you broke your leg.
I've tried 3 types of braces, all to no effect...well the final one lead to me managing 3 runs of hemel, the last one on my arse as I couldn't stand with the pain.
This sucks massive arse and I don't know how/if it can be fixed  |

| Oh and googling hernias of the "anterior tibialis" just gets you lots of people who have talked to doctors that don't know what this injury is and persist in telling them that they have never seen it before...seems to be runners... |

Might be extreme but break your leg and fix it all/start again.
I ripped my shoulder up pretty bad, the worse thing that happened was it not coming out of the joint and blowing apart. I wish it would have just popped out rather than get as good as out and snap back in. I might have been more inclined to do the physio then rather than just man up and keep playing rugby |
