<human>: When I was 3 years old I was stung by a bee in the back of my right thigh. What kind of bee I do not know. That afternoon I was taken to hospital with a temp of 106 and subsequently diagnosed after some time with osteomyleitis. They were stumped for awhile. This was in the mid 1950 s. They always said the bee sting had nothing to do with the osteomyleitis. I almost died several times and was in hostilal for over a month and a half,developing pneumonia after I had been stable. Since,I have had terrible trouble with the leg the sting occurred,we think from damage to the illiac vein when dealing with the bone. I had developed vercosities,had a vein stripping at 19years old,a clot in the illiac in 1984 and again in 1996 that caused the vein to collapse. Since,I have become seriously disabled from the neuropathy,poor circulation and many other domino effects of the illiac vein having collapsed and no longer doing its job in my circulatory system. I am now 60 years old. I guess it s moot at this point,but I avoid bees and have never been stung since! I can t imagine that the two are not connected. I don t blame the problems with the vein,since the doctors saved my life. It was possibly nicked at some point,causing scare tissue and resulting clots. Problems with continuity because of insurance changes,even though I was employed consistently as a social worker full time and always had insurance,contributed to having several differant doctors during the time between clots etc... Since,nobody wants to deal with why,or says we don t know??? I have always been curious if anyone has seen osteomyleitis after a sting,since I ve been told it wasn t the cause. Never had a break etc... The resulting lose of the illiac is the current concern,but I m told nothing can be done about it. I have trouble walking, sitting,standing,lying, and am in terrible pain and discomfort ,but I have gotten use to it,as much a s one can,since the initial diagnosis in 1996,when a cat scan found the collapsed iliac vein. It took awhile for the debilitation to show up. But any ideas for that problem will be met with open ears...lol. But seriously it has ruined any chance for a normal life since I was in my early 40 s. I wrote about the curious origin of the osteomyleitis since it was never discovered and I m told it doesn t appear for no reason.
