I have to go in for surgery the day after christmas for a skin graft on my arm therefore i have to get a piece of skin from my thight and place over the wound on my arm the wound vac did improve the wound but i guess the skin graft will be more better.. So i was wondering has this happen to anyone?

I had one when I was a kid, but it was in my mouth. They grafted some skin from the roof of my mouth onto the outside of my lower gum. I think my roots were too exposed and they covered them up so I'd be able to have braces. Kinda different than what you're talking about.

I was on Wound Cac for seven weeks last year after my tt and gangrene,
However I did see a patient who was in for sex change from man to woman and her vagina labia became necrotic and she had a skin graft from her thigh. In her situation she had to stay in bed in hospital for five days with catheter for nether region healing. She complained of pain more from her thigh than where it was grafted to.
I hope the graft heals easily and you do not experience much pain!
