Im nine days post op TAH. I ran out of pain meds, feel a little feverish and am in pain. Dont even have Tylenol in the house. Is it normal to feel feverish? Also there are hard knots/lumps forming below my incision. Is this normal? Major stomach pains immediately prefacing bowel movements as well.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that there is infection at the incision site leading to bump formation that can also be pus filled leading to abscess formation and fever and pain can also be due to it. I would suggest you to consult your treating physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis. In case of infection he can advise taking antibiotics like Augmenting, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, clean the area with antiseptic solution and apply triple antibiotic ointment over it. You can also do cool compresses over it. If infection is severe injectable antibiotics can be advised. Keep the area away from water and moisture and maintain Chat Doctor. . Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
