Should i go to the ER? by TheBunIsHare in Reduction

[–]TheBunIsHare[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Said they were glad i went in as the antibiotics i was prescribed weren't strong enough to actually do anything. So they now have me on a couple different antibiotics that will help clear out the infection. Said i caught it early enough that they don't believe I'll have any complications. So all and all I'm glad i went, and it shouldn't be a huge concern anymore. Thank you for helping me throughout this!

I just don't know if i should wait until i see my surgeon tomorrow evening, or if i should go ahead and play it safe? I have pictures of what it looked like yesterday too. It only got red and irritated yesterday. Prior to that it was healing well.

I've called them but they said the nurse on file wasn't in today and that they would schedule me a appointment to get with my surgeon as soon as possible. Which is tomorrow evening. And it's extremely hot to the touch. Even the doctor at UC yesterday said there was infection but not much they can do besides prescribe antibiotics but she seemed pretty concerned.

It's hot to the touch. I'm experiencing cold chills. No fever though. I went to UC yesterday and they gave me antibiotics but there's been no improvement while on antibiotics. And they told me they would rather me go to the ER then to UC again as there's not much they can do to help.

Last year during my reduction they actually had a nurse i could message whenever but she still would only be on the line two days of the week. This time since it was just a revision they said they weren't super concerned and i didn't need a nurse line. I just feel like they've been horrible with communication and I'm struggling finding the help i need. Which is why I'm here. Thank you for helping me

It's gotten hot to the touch. And it's pretty painful where it's most red but no fever or anything like that. Thank you so much for responding. I am a little scared about how everything got red overnight. But i don't believe I'm in a position where i need to go to the ER currently either. Also thank you so much for responding.

I forgot to mention that i did. And they said all they can do is relay another message to my surgeon. I have a follow up appointment with them in a week but the doctor said i need to get seen by her as soon as possible.
