Am I getting better or worse?
Hi there!!
I had a laparotomy to remove my left ovary and some endometriosis alomost 2 weeks ago.(It will be 2 weeks on the 31st), I ended up in the ER last week because of how bad 1 of my incisions hurt. They said I had celulitis around that incision, gave me some antibiotics and sent me home. I have been on the antibiotics for a week now, and my incision doesn't feel any better at all. I did develop a cold and I have been coughing and it hurts like crazy, doesn't feel any better at all, and really feels worse then did it did last week. I don't kow if it is because I am coughing it hurts so bad, or if the cellulitis hasn't gone away with the meds they gave me. I don't know what to do, and ws wondering if anyone had a surgery like mine and is having these problems, and what I should do about it. Thank You!!!

How long was it before you noticed the sharp pains? I had my surgery Tuesday, February 15th and I've been feeling the sharp pains near my incision ever since (4 days now). I can see there is a small bruise around the pelvin incision area, but I feel that most of the pain is coming from the bikini incision area, which is harder to see, because there's a larger band-aid over the incision.
I have barely left my bed, and trying to do anything I can to minimize movement...I think I am going to call my doctor Tuesday, after the holiday, and ask about the pains.
Can an infection develop almost instantly??

Please call your doctor right away. With my first lapartomy I did develop similar symptoms and they had to cut the incision and put in a drain for awhile to take care of the infection. You know your body best and I feel confident that your situation needs further care. Cellulitis is serious when it isn't handled properly. You may need a different antibiotic or a drain to help relieve the infection. Call your doctor TODAY!!!! Please keep us posted on how you are doing!
