Thanks,, I think that every doctor would see that if your arm is 3times bigger then normal, but I can't complain for the aftercare, I was 3,5 weeks in the hospital and had 5 surgery's and now my arm is closed and in Mei I'm back on my new bike. Greetz

what happend ?

I had a simple crash and broken the 2 bones in my arm, they put pins and stuff in and after 2 days they saw that my arm was dying. I had an compartment syndrome, and they had cut my arm open because the muscular was swollen 3 times its original size, I was lucky if they saw it 2h later my arm was amputated! Greetz
