First of all,i would like to thank TS to bringing up this thread which would be very usefull.Thumbs up!

Any ortho specialist or doctors here?

I am a T8-T9 burst fractured complete paraplegic for 10yrs.I've suffered alot with pressure ulcer/besores.Recently i went to see a doctor to verify what's wrong with my previous wound on buttock that've been silent awhile but started to produce discharge/puss again.After xray,he said i've got osteomyelitis because of some fractures on ischial bone,i begged for differ because i don't think it's osteomyelitis and the cause of it could be because i am fully wheelchair depended therefore might be i bumped too hard while sitting/transferring myself to bed,car etc.I am really worried to proceed with that doctor because he didn't even did a test on the discharge and simply saying it's osteomyelitis.Now the wound seems opened up more and there quite alot of discharge of puss,sometimes fever on and off/nausea.So here's my xrays,i hope someone could advise me.
