Kinda OT. Non WLS wound complication interferring with my exercise routine.
To those who are experienced with wound care, should I go to another Dr. and get another opinion? And to top it all off, I haven't been able to do my regular walking on the track b/c it's too painful. And my scale hasn't moved since I've had the tumor removed. Granted I was warned that the muscular thigh can be a difficult area to heal, but this seems to be excessive. Any feedback would be helpful, Thanks!
All I can offer is, if you are associated with a hospital that has a wound clinic, you may want to make a visit, most wound clinics charge like the ER. So I would check with your insurance if they cover it.
I had two wounds a surgical and non surgical wound that would not close they had to be packed and eventually I had to wear a wound vac. One wound closed with just keeping it clean and dry. Eventually but it took forever.
Walgreens/CVS etc will sell something called Wound Wash Saline-- it is about 12 a bottle but well worth to keep yours clean of debris.
The wound clinic also recommended a DS kind of diet, get protein, no caffeine, no/little carbs, almonds almonds almonds and dark berries.
Good luck and so happy it wasn't anything serious!

If there is any redness or if the area feels hot to the touch, I'd definitely get antibiotics quickly.
Hope you feel better soon!
