Re: My Dancing Days
Aww man , that sucks sorry to hear that John.
It's a probably a problem of microcirculation and of course nicotine constricts vessels , so yeah quit it mate .
Stay strong buddy and go for the surgery if needed.

He's probably right, don't smoke. Smoking constricts your blood vessels, which then helps to deprive your extremities of blood to to the tissues, and which eventually will turn your tissues necrotic... And if your vessels get constricted and there are already problems with them like narrowing, aka stenosis, then you increase the likelihood of being diagnosed with high blood pressure. Take into account your family history, and you could potentially set yourself up for more visits to various physicians and quick degradation of your health. I don't have the MD yet, so technically i shouldn't even be mentioning what i just said, but don't be afraid to ask your doc to explain to you what the cause would be if you smoked. It'll potentially save you a significant amount of money in the long run, and your health.
Re: My Dancing Days

Re: My Dancing Days
Just read this mate, sorry to hear about your leg. Hope that you are ok and doing well.
Re: My Dancing Days
It sounds like Buerger disease, and yes it is strongly associated with use of tobacco products. Stay safe, and listen to your MD.
Re: My Dancing Days
and remember crack doesnt pay!
Re: My Dancing Days
Hey John's really sorry to hear this ... but keep your chin up - you've got tons of friends on here and we're all hoping it works out.
Give up the sticks and keep enjoying the music ... it can help pull you through the bad times.
Even the worst case scenario isn't the end of things - look at all the guys coming back from war that go on to run and partipate in sports. So you can still defo see Digweed next time he hits your area.
You're in our thoughts - :Look!: stay strong dude !
