Brodies Abcess Removed from the Tibia

HEllo there.

Just wondering if anyone as any information on a Brodies Abcess

I have suffered with severe ankle pain for 12 years (I am 26 just now) . Been to the doctors many times and told me there was nothing wrong with my ankle i was making it up to get attention. My doctor told my parents I was Phycsomatic (Spelling?)

Anyway to cut a very very long story short I have an x ray and MRI scans done in January and then last week I went into hospital to find out I have Chronic Osteomyletis and had to get a brodies abcess removed.

The bone around the absces was so also infected and the majority of the bone has been removed too.

I am on 18 tablets a day of antibiotics.

Unfortunately brodies abscess's are very rare in this country and I am unable to find any information on it.

My consultant has explained to me the ins and outs of the condition and he is confident that I should be pretty clear of having to get anymore surgery done but I am scared that it will re occur.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Laura
