Asked By:Gregarious457074 in Scottsdale, Arizona

I had a TT in Jan -Since then I have had 3 hematomas, 2 inpatient hospital stay (13 days between Feb/May), 3 JP drains for almost 2.5 mo & 2nd surg to remove hematoma in Mar. My surgeon has no idea why this keeps happening nor do the hospital doctors. They pump me full of IV antibiotics/pain meds & send me home. I'm less than one month from my last hospital stay & it's happening again. Horrible pain/swelling along midline. Possible reaction to sutures from muscle repair?
