I have an “infected cyst” on my leg (side of my knee) and I’ve been given antibiotics. It is SO painful (and I have a 6 week baby I birthed with no pain relief!)! Is there anything I can do to ease the pain or make the damn thing pop?! I can’t see a head and squeezing it makes me dizzy!

Hope you are ok. Deffo right thing to do in case of sepsis. Things can get nasty so quickly. I hope you are sorted and home soon and feeling much better.
Not what you need with a newborn!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Sat waiting to see a surgeon😫 my husband is home alone with baby and our 2 year old who I am praying stays asleep! Newborn is not complying so it would be helpful if one of them is snoring!

Couldn't just read and run. Best of luck and get well soon. Don't worry about your husband - he'll find a way of coping, they always do! Flowers

EBearhug · 11/10/2017 23:36

While you're waiting - you've made sure they've got a tip-top film crew on hand, so you can update us properly? Wink

Hope it all goes well and you make a speedy recovery.
