Soto76,

I am so sorry to here you are in this predicament. Return to your orginal surgeon for some answers. If you feel uncomfortable about doing this then, consider asking for a referral to an Inectious Disease Physician. If this has not been done already you are likely to require an extensive evaluation (i.e. CT Scan or MRI, tissue diagnosis to rule out fungus, etc.). Hope this is of assistance.

Best,

Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS

It is not possible to give any advice without a complete exam and review of your entire medical records. You should start by talking to your surgeon about this problem or seek the advice of another ABPS certified or eligible physician. You may need to see an infectious disease specialist.

It's hard to give any advice from only this conversation. Please go back to your docter for complete physical examination again.
