Asked By:Cantwaitfornewme16 in Miami, FL

I'm 7 weeks post of a tt and I noticed one side of my incision is puffy and I feel a small amount of fluid moving around when I press with my fingers, last time I was drained manually I had less than 25 cc so the nurse said what ever liquid comes back it will absorb by itself, since it never did I went to get it drained and nothing would come out she tried everywhere and nothing would come out but the fluid is in there and I can see it and feel it even though is a very small amount any advise?
