Infected c section scar

[jojo895]

Hi all
I had an emergency c section 2 weeks ago. I thought I’d been doing really well, off of the painkillers and up and about, been going for short walks to the local shop and back, but noticed I had a bit of discharge coming from my scar on Thursday, and went to the doctors on Friday.
I was told I had an infection just on a small section in the middle of my wound, so a drsssing was put on and given a weeks worth of antibiotics.
Went back today and it’s opened up even more and apparently I now have a cavity there with a bad infection, which smells and a lot of oozing.
Has anyone else had this? Can anyone ease my mind a little bit as feeling a bit panicked at the mention of a cavity! How long did it take to heal back up?
I’ve got to go back Wednesday to see a specialist nurse.

Hello ...I had exactly the same ...it kept weeping and weeping ...they said I was doing too much.I had two days total bed rest as not to move ..then after what seemed for ages and all the drugs in Wales it started to heal ...x

It healed lovely ...x don't worry easier said than done but it feels and smells worse than it is ..even tho you dont feel it at the time x

Thanks for the reply @Kab30, it smelt so bad when she took the dressing off it was so embarrassing!
It just feels like such a knock when you think you’ve been doing so well, but maybe I’ve been doing too much x

You most probably have as you feel ok in yourself x they reassured me all the time they've smelt worse etc etc ...I was too drugged up to care st one point x but honestly it gets better and your not alone x
