I had back surgery 3 weeks ago today, stiches out 1 week ago today. Wound was sore both ends and top getting worse. I went to the nurse who squeezed it, said there was a hole and dressed it. I was prescribed antibiotics 4 times a day but told it was up to me if I wanted to take them as may get better without. I wasnt sure what to do but because the pain was increasing and I felt out of sorts I decided to start taking them. Today there was a real burning pain so I peeled back dressing to have a look. My question is, particularly to a medical professional, should I get Dh to squeeze it and what should I look out for. The nurse didnt seem too worried but I feel nervous having a hole going in to my back. Any comments welcome, thanks. before and after pictures included.
