Posted: 11/08/06 - 06:17 Post subject: stitches removed and wound is open and leaking 1 month post
I had surgery a month ago for entrapped nerves in my foot . After a previos bunionectomy. the nerves were not cut. My sutures were removed 10 days post op. and the wound is still open and leaking. my doctor put steri strips on after removing the sutures but the gap in the wound is very large and I can see into the wound and when i walk {as i was told to } the pain is incredible and it leaks through the bandage at least twice a day. my question is ; Is it dangerous to have a wound still open and leaking 1 month post op?and will they have to restitch this?
