Hi

i had surgery on 1st june after 5 broken bones and was hoping to be walking by now. I have had multiple problems and now feel completely exasperated!

I'm on 3rd course of antibiotics and wound shows no improvement. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any advice? I would be so grateful!! image

Thanks

Charlotte

    OH my goodness! That looks awful and I hope your surgeon is doing something for you and quickly.

    I don't really know what is going on but I feel bad for you.

    Wishing you the best of luck that this heals !

    The incision definitely isn't healing up as it should be and if after 3 rounds of antibiotics you aren't seeing any improvement you should call your doctor/surgeon and have them really look into what is happening.

    Very sorry this is happening but I know you will get better in time, stay strong!!
