I am now week 6 into recovery after the op. I have been having my wound packed daily. I have had 3 infections but 1 due to negligence.

I went to the nurse on friday and the have notice a new hole appear within the wound area. This is very small bit they get some packing in it. Has anyone else had this and is it normal? Thwy cannot explain it and want to review on monday.

Very concerned and distressed lady here - please share or advise.

    I'm into 9th month since op and it broke open 4 weeks ago and been infected since.. Won't close

    And I don't get answers off any one , nurse just say il be alright etc, no one wants to help.. It's shocking and no one as a clue..

    I can honestly say these are a nightmare and I'm starting to feel a bit depressed.. I was on here a month ago telling ppl be strong myns finally closed thank god etc..

    Then it bloody broke open.. Surely there is a surgeon or a ppl who specialise in these who we can all go see.. Am yet to find them haha

    Stay strong !!!

    It happens with me also as when last time I had surgery then my GP said do not worry it is now okay but latter on after one week it starts again and my GP was still saying do not worry and now as 4 years I am having this issue bigger than before as a new hole opens with blood coming majority of times.

    Hi

    I had a drainage 3 weeks ago and another small hole has appeared just underneath. I can not believe it, its my 10th one in 5 years more scary is i have had 4 in 4 months.

    I am not getting the help i need, what operation did you have?

    What have your doctors said? I hope you can find a cure for this horrible condition, it puts your life on hold and is getting me so depressed!! 

    Thanks
