These are last thing, I don't think too bad going off others, have a small suture coming through on left hip so trimmed and taped it, also the last week I noticed a red area near my pubic region, so being a women I squeezed at it! And a lot of blood stained fluid came out, I phoned the ward and they asked if I could come in but with it being 3.5 hrs away they said if I was concerned I could visit my local practice nurse. I didn't, coz I don't think they know out about it lol this is a small town and people from round here don't get tt's!!! It was fine till today when I squeezed again! I know.... naughty, but it just seemed to be blood coming out?! I'll see how it goes and if no better I'll go to Newcastle Friday and get it checked out!! Hope everyone is keeping well, I know I haven't updated for a while but I have been keeping tabs on everyone xx

Hi Lucy. How's the red area now? Did it settle down or did you have to make the big journey? X

Yeah I had to go, he had a dig round!! Said he thought it was a stitch but he couldn't find anything! Said I had to wash and dress it everyday for 2 weeks then go back and see him. Tidy as I was washing I thought there was a puss sac, so being me I squeezed a little and could see something white so sterilised. Pub me pult out the stitch, so hopefully it should close now xx

So you pulled out the stitch yourself?! Brilliant :-) You're braver than I would've been... I probably would've fainted! Fingers crossed that's it and it'll heal over very soon and you won't need to go back x

Oh god I wish I could sleep on my side! Tried it last night and was pure agony. I'm still walking a bit hunched over and swelling is crazy but doing ok. X

Sutures out!!

lucylu43
So supposed to be getting sutures out today, but the little buggar were well and truly stuck!! So she just trimmed them and cleaned the area took off the steristrips and repackaged me! Got a couple of photos, happy that the scar is really thin, bit concerned about my old piercing and I have a bit of a dog ear, she called it, on my right side, still covered in the photo. Did not see my ps as he's on holiday but will see him I the 24th and hopefully he'll reassure me as to what will happen. Have swelling on left and right hip bones to, they've told me to massage gently 2-3 times a day, but it is really bruised, so hoping that's all it is, I asked if they thought it was a series but they didn't think so. What do you think?? X

I think it's probably just bad bruising; you look pretty bruised...even your belly button looks bruised! Like me, you've probably read loads of reviews where everything settles down after a few weeks. I see what you mean about your piercing, hopefully he can put your mind to rest when you see him. X
