a v malformation

by rg007, Oct 05, 2005 12:00AM
i was born with an a v malmormation of my left leg

my leg looks like its badly bruised and always very swollen. i have had several opperations on it which dont seem to work.

my mucsels seem to be waisting away and my knee gives way all the time. is there any cure for this condition? how rare is it?

im 32yrs now and dont know what the future holds for me

i have 2 young children who are not effected with this condition however i cant be a proper mum to them as im unable to do what a mum should be able to do with the kids. im on pain killers all the time morphine now but even that dont seem to work
