    Hi Kay,

    I’ve had similar in a different location, the worst pain ever and the same symptoms!

    Mine exploded last week and the pains now reduced slightly but the abcess started filling again, I’m also waiting for surgery, but my surgeon advised me to go straight to A&E if It gets out of control again until the surgery.

    Sorry can’t advise more, but thought I’d share advise from my surgeon.

    Get well soon.
