My TT with muscle repair was 3 wks ago. Doc feels fluid but has tried to drain it 3x with no success. Will my body absorb it?

I’m worried about the outcome and/or infection. I was not told to wear a tight compression garment. I woke up in a Marena recovery garment that was too big and wore it for the first 10 days or so because I didn’t know better. Ordered a new one but it’s only slightly supportive and not that tight. Doc said that was fine. But this fluid isn’t going away and he’s unable to drain it after multiple attempts. Will my body absorb it?
