Hang in there. Hoping for the best for you.

Greg

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. Will keep you guys updated.

Saline is clear, it working to me it sounds more like an infection. When my wife nueostimulator got infected after 2 weeks. She had no fever just the site was wet

Stay calm if you can. Hopefully the anti biotic will clear up what sounds like an infection. Routing for you pal.

See the doc; work out a plan; get it done. We are all here to support you in good times and bad. Prayers for quick resolution, easy healing, and the grace that conquers anger. That is all.

Exactly what he said.

And exactly what he said.

Who says revision is inevitable? What has analysis of this fluid revealed? Does the implant inflate and deflate?

Anticipation of what comes in the future is good, but preservethe options you have in your mind. Don't get ahead of yourself.

The fluid hasn't been a analysed. It's watery, scentless and slight yellow tinge. All was well up until last sunday. I noticed the fluid in my underwear and went to the doctor that Monday. He has not analysed the fluid. I'm gonna give the antibiotics a few more days and then I will make plans to remove it if the situation doesn't improve.

Good luck

Brother, I had the same thing around the same time as yours. Puss coming out from the incision and the incision seemed like it is opening again. I went to emergency and had very heavy dose of antibiotic. Locally, I used antibiotic ointment and I was aggressive in pressing the incision to get as much as puss out as possible. Behold, in under a week, all healed nicely. A couple of weeks later, you can't even tell if there was an incision there. Just take the antibiotic, keep it clean and dry and don't panic. Happy to chat over the phone, just PM me.

I hope my situation works out like yours. I asked my doctor about antibiotic ointment and he said no.

If it is an infection, is your surgeon planning on removing the implant and leave nothing there for a while, or leaving a malleable implant for the time being ? Or is he planning on a salvage procedure in which you are implanted with a new 3 piece device during the same procedure as removal ?

Best wishes. Hopefully the antibiotics work their wonders and it will clear up. Maybe it will just be a memory. Hope it all works out !
