I'll apologise in advance for the yuckiness of this post.
I'm in agony, so much pain. I have an abcess on my thigh which started last week as a small lump which has gradually grown in size (and pain since). My yesterday afternoon it was too much to bear and I went down to A & E.
It was so undignified, I dropped my jeans and lay as he prodded and squeezed as I wimpered and bit my lip. I was hoping he would be able to do something there and then, like cut into and drain all the goo out but he said it wasn't ripe enough. He prescribed antibiotics and codeine and told me I have to go back tomorrow to have it drained which fills me with dread as they will basically pop it by squeezing it.
They put a padded dressing on it for protection and I have been drugged up to the eyeballs on the codeine which makes me feel drowsy and drunk. I am now sat in so much pain as one dose has worn off but it's not time for my next one. At least when I do take some it will knock me out and I cannot feel pain when I am sleeping.

Oh Jo, i feel for you, i had 3 of the little darlings after childbirth, in my boobs of all places and i swear i have never had pain like it, the doctor came out and sent me to hospital at midnight and i was in theatre by 1am. Had a week in hospital, about to be dishcarged and they found another on the other side, 5 weeks later i was back in hospital with another one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better by now and that they have sorted it out for you.
