Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 I am having a lot of trouble from the surgery I had. As I mentioned in an earlier e-mail I have an infection called pseutomotas. The surgeon opened my infected areas yesterday and cut them and I was up all night with pain and today the pain is so bad I am very nauseaus and I can't stop crying. The surgeon's office told me to call if this continues and I have been taking 2 percocette at a time and that isn't helping the pain and I hate taking pain meds more than I have to. I am still running a low grade fever, too. I think this infection has gone too far. Plus, I lost my hair on the top of my head. I'm afraid they will want to put me in the hospital. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank You so much, you guys have been so helpful but right now I am so scared. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best place for you right now is in the hospital. They might be able to get the infection under control better and help to control your pain. Please don't wait too long or think you are a baby and not call. You need to get this infection under control fast,with your immune system the way it is. PLEASE call the dr. hugs & prayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 I'm so sorry that you are still having problems. All I can suggest is calling the surgeons office again and letting them know that the pain is not any better. Wish I could do more.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Hi Sharon, Wish I could wave a magic wand and make you feel better. I assume you are on some strong antibiotics. Maybe they need to change to something else for that infection. It sure wouldn't hurt to call the surgeon and let them know how much pain you are in and how sick it is making you. I will keep you in my prayers and hope things improve for you real soon. Take care. Love, marilyn In Rpolychondritis@y..., Lee27a@a... wrote: > I am having a lot of trouble from the surgery I had.
