Well, if he said it is fine, than it probably is.  However if you are that worried, you have the right to a second opinion....

When I had ACL/MCL resconstruction, I had quite a bit of swelling. To the point that my skin was almost hard. That only lasted a short time though. Be sure to keep off of it. I got up and around too quick and ended up undoing my surgery. If there is any temperature changes on your knee or your knee becomes red, go back and see your doctor. You only have your two knees, take care of them....ask someone who knows. I have had surgery twice now, need a knee replacement and am only 31 years old.\nUse rubbing alcohol or peroxide to clean around your stitches. It bites a bit, but offers the best way to keep them infection free ;-)

Yes it;s normal. You could take up to six months to heal. My ex had surgery on both hands and has been sorry ever since. Hope yours heals fast,good luck.

Hi! I think it's individual but usually it is not a hard bleeding. Few drops of blood that stop almost immediately (about 5 mins later). So don't worry. It's unconfortable but it's only for that 1st time. The next one u ll be just fine ;)

There might be some soreness after any surgical procedure, however some signs might suggest infection and warrant seeking early attention.  I would advise to seek attention before Thursday, if:\n- you have fever\n- if the area has become red, warm and more painful than it was  (you  can expect some pain and redness, but it should not be \n  MORE painful, redder or warmer than before).\n- if there is discharge coming from the wound (not blood, but pus-like discharge;  try to press lightly around the wound and see if \nyou can express  some discharge from it).\n\nHope it helps

I did not get a period for 6 months after I had my son and my tubal ligation(both withen 2 days of each other). I bled for 3 weeks after that and then did not get a period for 6 months. The doctor did a preg. test that came back neg. and told me not to worry about it.Eventually it came back. Call your doc.

It should bleed less and less each day. If it is clear then it is seeping (slightly leaking) if it is still bright red then it probably needs to be looked at by your doctor again.  The more you move around the harder it is for it to heal.  I know that it is difficult not to move your tummy so a little bleeding is ok.

Go back to your doctor and have him take a look at this.  The swelling should have gone down by now.  Attend to this without delay.

It sounds like you might have a low platelet level. Please tell your doctor about these spots ASAP.

it could be internal bleeding. but if u can move it, it probably isnt broken. check with ur dr.

No it should not take 17 months for your incision to heal. I would make an appointment with your Dr. as soon as possible. Could be something as simple as a suture that has not dissolved... Or maybe an abcess. I think that it sounds more like a suture-I had a suture that wouldnt dissolve and it was red around the area where the suture was-I felt something sticking out and pulled the suture out,a small amount of pus came out . Of course that didnt make me too happy so I made an appointment with my surgeon to make sure there wasnt an abcess-which it wasnt. Thank goodness.Please be seen by your Dr. Ask him/her questions until you get the answers that you deserve. Remember you are the one who hired them to do your surgery and the birth of your child and you have the right to know the reason it is not healing. One more thing-do not let them charge you for the visit because it is a follow-up from your surgery-it should be included. The Dr. should have taken care of this problem way before now.

it depends on the protocol, any surgical interventions that you've had, how torn it was....\nI would expect AT LEAST 3x/wk for 6-8 weeks.

Some signs include high fever, chills, purulent discharge (pus), increasing heat and "redness" around the incision site (not just a little bit of redness..but expanding). \n\nI'm sure you were given discharge instructions after your surgery...\n\nThose are just basics, this isn't for diagnostic purposes. Don't try to self-diagnose. If you have a QUESTION about an infection, you need to either return or call your physician to be examined. Asking medical questions on this forum is not a good idea.

Yes.  It is similar to childbirth.  I bled for a month after childbirth, only to get my period two weeks later.  If it is still heavy and full of clots it may be cause for concern.  I would talk to your midwife/obgyn.  At the very least it will make you feel better.  And I am terribly sorry for your loss!

If the swelling is going down, it isn't broken.  You may have hyper-extended it.  Go to the school nurse with it.
