Default Hello All I am a new member that got shot!

Well to start off I am 22, in the NAVY, and I am happily married, with no kids YET, but trying! I live in virginia, about 6 miles from the beach, here is the kicker I can not enjoy it anymore! I accidently shot myself in the leg while chanbering the rounds in my weapon! I now have a very large hole in my leg and if you can imagine that, then you can imagine just how much pain I am in! I have tibial nerve damage, tibial artery damage, and as I am sure you can guess some very serious muscle damage! All of which is in my lower leg just below the knee! the doc's keep telling me that the pain is comming from my sympathetic nervous system now of course this was like speaking greek to me so I asked him when he told me that I asked him what that was he explained it but when I got to looking it up he explained it all wrong! I have spots of my leg that I can not feel at all and I have parts that I can feel and then I have parts that if they are even touched with the slightest of touches it hurts like $$$$ right now I am awaiting surgery to get my tibial nerve worked on they are going to try graph it back together with a nerve from my other leg! which is going to painful but they think it will help me! we will see about that! but I am on here to learn as much as I can about Nerves, Arteries, and muscle tissue the do's and don'ts so to speak about how to help my mending process! if anyone has any ideas or had or who have and issue similar to mine and you are treating it please let me know your plan of attack! I am wanting to make the military a career but it is not loking good for relistment next year if I dont not get this fixed! But I would like to thank all of those who at least read this and all of those that reply as well!
GOD SPEED TO ALL
