So, I have just had a blood borne infection and sepsis, probably from a cannula or a stent in my bile duct. I have also had pancreatitis as a complication of stent placement and severe jaundice from said stent blocking my liver. I came out of hospital just over two weeks ago, was discharged on IV antibiotics which I have finished and my PICC line is out. All my bloods were going in the right direction and cultures clear.
I was on massive doses of opiates throughout this, but had reduced right down to two cocodamol every eight hours or so by last week, maybe with some oramorph after eating in exceptional circumstances.
This week I’m really really sore again, bad abdo pain, waiting to take painkillers. Horrible after I eat. I know if I phone 111 they will say go to a and e but it’s an hour on the train and I’m concerned I’m just imagining things and that actually, it’s probably just me recovering. How likely is it a return of the sepsis? Any one knowledgeable about such things have an idea before I force myself on the train? Thanks in advance
