Drain Infection....

I went for my 3 week doc appointment the other day and that morning i woke up in sooooo much pain. Around my drain was yellow pus and my genital area was swollen to the size of a baseball mitten (ouchhhh) , i couldnt walk and the pain was terrible. My surgeon numbed the area up in the office and did a biopsy of the fluid thats in the drain, he put me on antibioctics and more pain meds (tylenol 3 ) but they are not working that good cause im still in alot of pain. He told me to take it easy and dosent want me driving. Oh boy, what else can happen.... I was hoping my drain would be removed now this, ughhhhh. Im going back in a week and praying that this infection clears up. On another not, my TT incision looks great and i have no problen whatsoever there but the front of my genital area where the drain is plugged into is hurting like hellll,
Keep me in your prayers and i'll update all next week!

 Oh no! I hope it clears up soon for you, and that the pain meds provide some relief soon. Please keep us updated! 

I'm so sorry for you.  It sounds miserable.  Did the drain come out or is it still there?

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your antibiotics work and you are in a better place soon!

 This sounds just awful. I hope the antibiotics take effect quickly and kick that infections behind. I also hope the drain comes out soon. While it is way better to get all that fluid out than keep it in, it sure is a blessing when those drains are removed.  Feel better!

 That's awful. I hope the pain and infection goes away soon. I wish I could help. Sorry you have deal with this.

 This happened to me I was put in the hospital for 1 day. Your genital area stays swollen for months after. I am 5 months out from TT and mine is still swollen they say it takes a year. I hope you feel better soon. If your running a fever you need to go to the hospital. 

 Ouch!  Hope  you get better soon.

thanks everyone ! Yeah the drain is still in and im still draining over 50cc a day. Im not running a fever but i have had chills and ive been taking my temp every hour as the doc told me to go straight to the hospital if i spiked a fever over 100.0 , keep me in your prayers!

Thinking of you.  Please keep us posted.
