Hi. I am 16 days after my surgery. Is it normal to be feeling this way. My stitches got infected.. my surgeon put me on 2 antibiotics.. clindamycin and sulfamethoxazole ... last night I had bad chills and body aches... today chills subsided but restless legs are a nightmare.. my left breast is in pain. I'm a fitness instructor so I'm used to moving and haven't exercised since before the surgery. Are these normal symptoms of an infection. My left breast keeps oozing. I'm worried.

Answer: Potential Infection on Stitches at 2 Weeks Post-Op
Postoperative wound dehiscences can take 3 months ++ t heal by themselves. I offer PRP infusion with or with out stem cell into the wound every 2 weeks to speed the healing process..
