Title: Fistula in upper left thigh
Post by: emgee on September 27, 2009, 11:54:44 PM

I have a brand new fistula in the upper right thigh. I am very fit and exercised quite a bit when I was on PD.
Does anybody know whether exercise is permitted with a fistula in the leg?
Grateful for any advice.

Hi emgee, Is it awkward having a fistula there, how do they connect it up. Sorry if I seem a bit dim but I have never seen one there. About exercise I havent got a clue I would check it out with your nurse or neph they should be able to tell you.
