I have crohns od 15 years duration. I had large bowel removed with illeo rectal anastomoses. I have had 3 small bowel rejections and 2 division of adhesions. The most recent 12 th February. Immediately after I woke up from the anaesthetic I knew this op was different. My surgeon is amazing and told me this was a difficult op 6 hours duration. All my abdominal organs were stuck down hence the reason for the op my small bowel had adhesions wrapped round which had caused 17 obstructions last year.
I developed an infection whilst in hospital was on two different antibiotics, the redness faded and I was discharge two weeks after admission. On getting home my tummy became very hot and hard. Doctor advised an abscess under wound. It was oozing pus ans still is, another course of antibiotics finished yesterday but wound still oozing pus, tummy still hot and hard. Nurses coming in every two days to redress. I am really worried what's going on underneath, has anyone had this happen? How quickly did you recover? What treatment did you get? All my research states that there is a two pronged treatment antibiotics and drainage GP did say that if the antibiotics don't work then its back into hospital. All advice is thoughts are welcome.
