I am 9 months post extended TT. My drains never stopped draining. Doc took them out and I developed a sterile abcess that had to be drained 5 times. My abdomen swells even though I still wear compression garments every day like SPANX. I have pinching pains upon rising out of chairs, laying down. I have a hard mass on right lower side from lower belly button towards right thigh. Swelling is asymmetrical with more on the left side. I look like I'm carrying a half barrel on my front side.
