My surgeon gave me IV antibiotic and it got better. I had MRI, it should edema in my flank. The pain is very bad,Pulling sensations and swollen.what should I do? My surgeon gives up and keeps saying the amount of the fluid is not drainable! Please guide me. The pain is awful and the area gets infected from time to time.
