April 11, 2013
Asked By:1kttate

Milking doesn't work moving the fatty tissue clog, but it only allows me to drain what is in the tube which is less than 1/4 in a 24 hour period. Dr. continues to tell me to milk. I am out of the country and I am not sure he understands me. My stomach remains numb and swollen/ FULL/Tight ant it pulls my stitches. One stitch area burst open so I was given antibiotics to prevent infection. Skin in stomach beginning to swell with hives and itch and burn. What is this called, help.
