Second opinion
Have you gone to your primary care physician so he or she can look at it? Your local doc should be able to give you a quick second opinion. If you are running a fever, if the incision is swollen, hot to the touch, or otherwise looking seriously troubled it is worth a quick trip to the nearest med center pronto. You could also talk to the nurse practioner/surgical nurse for some advice on how to handle it. Nurses have tons more time for patients and know when to refer if things are getting out of hand. Good luck!0 -
