Registered Nurse here; Well I dislike the sound of my own advice.  However if your condition is truly a result of blood being drawn, you best avenue is to SUE, this is malpractice, and people in health care must be held accountable when they make mistakes.  As for the physician, he or she should not try to avoid the error and should address it with you open and honestly.  You should not have to pay for any of your surgeries related to this error, nor should your insurance company.  I strongly advise you to seek an attorney that specializes in malpractice.  Also you may want to consider getting another physician, if you feel they are not treating you with dignity, respect and cognitive of care that your entitled to.

Normally those operations don't have that much risk more that the tend to come back after about a year, unfortunately  :-(\nGet a second opinion from another specialist or try to look it up on the net.

If you weren't treated by a physician when it happened now would be a good time. If you were treated but the wound has become infected you should place a call to your doctor. With a cut that deep he may order antibiotics. You could be putting yourself at risk of a deep tissue infection like cellulitis. Nothing to fool around with. If your doctor is not available I'd suggest an urgent care clinic or the emergency room.

I would go back to your surgeon immediately.  They can do an ultrasound to see if it is still in place.  I have heard that within the first 6 weeks of having surgery, if you vomit, it will slip....I would call your doctor.....

Finish off all your duties and pay any loans you may have and pray, because nobody is certain of what is going to happen to him.\n\nWish you all the best, and may the surgery be a success.

Hi,\n\nI understand the agony you are going through. Even, I had hernia and have got operated successfully. It has been three years now and I am perfectly alright. I am running, playing cricket, basketball, workout in gym, swimming and much more than I ever thought during post-operation period.\n\nSo, just get operated. The earlier you get operated, the better it is for you to recuperate. In the post-operation period, just concentrate on a little slow and firm walking stride and make sure pain doesnot hamper your walk for many days. If you experience pain during walking for more than 7 days, then consult your physician.\n\nJust relax, stop lifting weights for atleast 1 or 1.5 yrs and then start off the way you want to. But, in a slow way.\n\nHope my experience would help you gain some confidence to regain back your original senses.\n\nAll the best!!\n\nRegards,\nSubbu

See another physician for a second opinion... Second of all, if you feel that dr did not do there job, file a complaint with the state health department.

OH NO DO NOT GO THRU THIS EVER AGAIN, SPEAK UP AND MAKE SURE ALL STAFF IS AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED!!!! I dont know all that they did but do u have a port? If you do did they clean it. Flush it etc. very important, believe it or not, but not all nurses are all that familiar with the proper procedure some will flush a port and do it wrong!!! I BEG U TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ASAP, We tend to just trust r nurses and drs. but really we need to be just as informed ask questions, read up on your condition and treatment, and do not accept anything but the best medical care and always SPEAK UP!! This is your life, dont be scared or shy to ask questions etc. u may seem like a pest but u will get the best care and that is all that matters.

Nothing you can do to hasten mending of broken bones. There is a timetable that your body follows and all healing will follow this timetable whether surgery is performed or not. Just be patient.

Try over-the-counter medications, such as preparation H, but if that is ineffective, you will need to see a doctor for prescription medication or surgery.

Take a large knife a whack it off.  After it heals you won't have anymore problems
