Just What I Didn't Want... Infected Incision

[jiggyjen1982@yahoo.com 15]

I am a little over 3 weeks post op. My incision that is right above my belly button( the one that is horizontal, not the long vertical one). Half of it will Not heal! It is still open & is getting infected. It will not heal. I have an appointment Friday with my surgeon... To see what he thinks. Anyone else had this to happen??

I had an infected incision around 2/3weeks it was extremely painful more so than having the operation it's self, I was admitted back into hospital where I spent a over a week on IV antibiotics and lots and lots of very strong pain relief after being discharge I continued on oral antibiotics for another week or so not a nice experience, 2 months post op now n doing great very happy with my progress.

I'm sending you a lot of healing energy your way. Hope it's minor and doesn't require you to go into the hospital.

I'm dealing with it now. I'm 16 days post op and it started about 3 weeks ago. It's hot red and hard. Doctor started me on antibiotics and if not better by Friday he will open in up and drain it. So I bent over to pick something up and it started draining all over. Yuck!!! I pray it gets better for both of us!!

Thanks guys!! I hope I can just be given antibiotics. I'm not running a fever, so hopefully it's not that bad yet.
