Hello everyone I am new to this forum but I do have a few questions if I might ask.
First off I had a double hernia in may of this year..I ended up with a home care nurse using a vac pack for drainage. Then I went back in june to have my surgery assesed and they opened me up placing a large hole in my tummy area..I ended up having this packed for weeks on end with a large amount of drainage, then it was deceided I was to yet again go in for another operation to have the mesh removed..July 1st weekend..Operation number 3. In two months...Iam still having a large amount of drainage from the wound and now iam tunneling and the pain is increasing. Iam told it will heal I still have a nurse coming to my home every day and she sees the driffernce in me there is now hardness to the right of where my surgery was and where the new tunneling is happening.
I have asked for a cat scan something so that it can be seen but again iam told it isnt what I need. Without pain pills and feeling I have no place to turn iam at my wits end with this. It seems when my tummy has pain and fills up then it gushes out with drainage..The color is yellowish. And thoughts would help please. :cry:
