Thanks so much fro your response. I am now six weeks post op and it looks like the edges are starting to heal a bit. Today is the first day I don't have intolerable pain. It is at a dull roar. I have been seeing the Dr weekly and they are keeping an eye on the progress.
Hello,
Severe pain may be due to delayed wound healing or infection of the wound. Swab samples of the wound/incision line have to be taken and sent for culture-sensitivity along with blood culture to isolate the infecting organism.Then specific antibiotics-topical as well as oral have to be started.Till the report of the culture comes,the doctors will start with broad spectrum antibiotics.
Severe cases may require dressings for a longer period of time or even a resurgery to stitch the wound.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
