Stitches on Right Leg?!
Question:
Stitches on Right Leg?
I just had a birthmark removed on the side of my right leg a few days ago. As of the moment, I am not able to put any kind of weight on my right leg; I am just hopping around. I was wondering if anybody knew of some things that I can do to regain use of my leg. Any kind of stretches, remedies... anytthing? I'm really worried that I'm going to break the stitches by trying to stand of my leg. It hurts SOOOOO bad!! Also, it keeps bleeding; is that normal? Any help/tips would be greatly appriciated! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Answers:
It may feel like you will break the stitches by standing but you wont. Its perfectly normal to feel that way because they are put in very tight. It may bleed alittle at first but that's also normal. You need to extend your leg out you dont want to muscles to get weak in your leg. I understand its painful but its necessary, and as you know its only for about a week then the stitches will come out.
