HI i had my Total hip replacement surgery on Tuesday 12th Jan. My surgeon told me that i may have some leakage, clean dressings and one can see the
leakage on the dressing, the wound looks clean does not look red or swollen.
I have been doing what the Physio told me to do regarding exercise. I am overweight so i was thinking that this may be contributing to it. Rung the hospital where i had the surgery they told me to ring them if it is still doing it over the next few days, well tomorrow will be a week since my surgery, i am so concerned about it. Any thoughts on the subject.

My staples do not hurt, oh my goodness when the dressing is taken off it hurts quite a lot because of the bruising. x

Mine was okay, but my mothers was pouring down her leg, she was scared too - but she was fine. It was just fluid that had built up, that was finding a way out. I hope you are okay, let us know how you are.

Do you have a fever? does it smell funny - if not, it probably is not an infection -
in any way, have someone look at it -
Oh yeah, the area can be so sore and bruised -
warm welcome to this wonderful forum ....
big warm hug

I'd contact your surgery if you cannot get to the hospital outpatients.

The he point was that this was 12 days and she really was not too worried even if it was oozing so I would be even less worried at coming up to a week unless the leakage is severe. The fact that the wound looks clean and not red is a good sign.

I am also sad about one of your previous posts where you mention that your Dad died and you couldn't go to the funeral. That must have been so difficult, and I imagine you are still grieving big-time for your loss. May you be feeling better soon.

Second time around, hardly any leakage at all - not sure if he used more staples or not.
No smell is good - you don't want an infection, but much better if the hospital clean you up using sterile water etc. and either tape or glue up the bit that's leaking.

Are you staying in? Or just visiting.
I don't think your previous messages came through, or I missed them, but wanted to say so sorry again...too many things at once. We are all here for you. Take care today and hope it goes well.
