Hi, I have a pressure sore on my tailbone it is a stage four. plastic surgeon wants to do a V-Y Gluteal advancement flap does anyone have any experince with this? I would like to know about the recovery process my doctor says it'll be 2 weeks. Now I have a question and I know some might find stupid or too optimistic but I am Optimistic, anyways the doctor says they will remove gluteal muscle and stuff it in my pressure sore area will removing that muscle affect it if I do ever get blessed and gain movement again? will it affect me from walking?

Thanks in advance. Look forward to hearing from you.. :mfrlol:
