MAJOR INFLAMED PAIN !!!

I woke up this morning to a lot of pain coming from my Lower Hanging Belly. It's HOT to the Touch. I checked with a mirror, there is no rashes under there. So it hurts the more I move. And I was waiting till my home care nurse comes this morning but just called him and he gave me the ok to take a Pain Med. So the nurse said he'd be here shortly. I trust him as much as Dr.Rehnke, with my life. So I'll keep you posted but heading to Dr.R's in the morning or the Emergency Room after I call in to Dr.R's office. I'm praying it's nothing anti-biotic won't cure, Mike

You are in our prayers. Take care of you and keep us posted. Best of luck. Debbie

awe.. ouch.. so sorry. I hate those kinds of 'flames' got them with my last two babies. Mastitis. inflamed, and there is swelling, redness, tenderness and pain. There may be an infection, so it is wise to consult your health-care provider to determine whether or not an antibiotic is necessary. You feel tired, run down, achy, have chills or think you have the flu. stress or getting run down contribute to susceptability. hope you are feeling better soon.

It is good that you are having this checked out. Keep us posted sweetie. Darlene

The redden & very warm to the touch area has enlarged over-night. So as soon as I got up I called Julia and left a message. She called me back promptly shortly after 11AM. And I told her what was happening at which she said I needed to come in. I'll be at Dr.R's at 230PM today. According to the "Weightloss Surgeries for Dummies" book, it's most likely a "Intrabodminal Abcess" which it states is very common with those of overly sized bellies. And can be cured with Anti-biotics, but may also need some draining. Which if so the drains are placed by using xrays or scanning devices I'm still very Positive that I'll be fine shortly & onward losing daily. As always with caring thoughts & prayers, Mike

Best of luck and please take care of you. Debbie

SO I do have a Abdominal Infection, what brought it on who knows. But Dr.R says it is common with those my size. And it could happen again & again. But they put me on CIPRO 500mg twice a day for the next 7 days. Then I'll be back to see Dr.R on the 7th at 445PM Thank you for all your prayers and very well wishes, Mike

Hope you're feeling better now that you've been on some meds. Keep us updated, Mike! Megan

What a drag! I hope you get feeling better soon! Take care, Heather
