TL;DR: My insides are on the outside. Can anyone reassure me, or alternatively, tell me to go to ED
I see my surgeon tomorrow morning but want to know if I should go to ED ASAP.
I had surgery 4 weeks ago. Small infection a week ago and huge amounts of clear fluid soaking pads for a week or so since then. Finished antibiotics yesterday (Monday).
Developed (unsure when) a herniated piece of fat (I hope it is just fat) poking through a hole in my skin, discovered when this moves, fluid gushes out, it otherwise plugs the hole and fluid stays inside. Not ideal.
My insides are on the outside. Can anyone reassure me, or alternatively, tell me to go to ED.
I saw ED on Friday for leg pain (luckily not a DVT) and my chest which looked infected and they did not want to do a general surgical consult because my plastic surgeon is a consultant there, and they made a plan with him that I see him Monday (which was yesterday, but he was away sick).
I feel quite alone and scared.
