Story
I was born with a condition called ABS (Amniotic band Syndrome). It's a congenital birth defect caused by entrapment of foetal parts inside the womb (being my right leg and right hand digits).The constriction band on my leg reduces blood circulation causing tightness swelling and cramps so i struggle to walk distance or stand for long periods of time. I'm on strong medication to combat the pain.
As I'm getting older I'm finding the leg is becoming more debilitating. I'm house bound at the moment and am relying on my husband to take me out in a wheelchair. I'm currently off work sick and on a waiting list for an operation but it could be months away. The surgeon in the UK is not familiar with my condition and has explained he will be going in blind.
Dr Dubrow is a plastic surgeon from America and is one of the best in the business. if I can get a FaceTime consultation with him then that would be amazing. I'm hoping and praying he can help because I need to get my life back on track .
Thanks for reading my story x
