hey,
well i just had surgery 3 weeks ago for cauterization of endometriosis, and i am still in pain. my bellybutton one was the worst as well, and as far as the yellow icky scab that u pulled off, i dont think thats bad, it just sounds like a scab. your bellybutton sounds like its just pussing, you are probably moving around too much, more than you should be. you may be able to get some antibiotic ointment for the bellybutton, but ask the doc. I think you can probably just put polysporin on it, but again ask the doc.
u probably should not go back to gym class any time soon. give it at least a month before you do anything like that. and when u do start, start small. if ANYTHING hurts, then stop what u are doing immediately.
but yes, don't worry bout the bellybutton. like i said, my surgery was 3 weeks ago, and mine is just starting to heal. you probably just have a minor superficial infection in ur bellybutton incision, that is normal. rest more, and it should get better. as long as you don't develop a fever, the chills, or a red line running from your bellybutton, you should be fine. if you develop any of those symptoms, go to the doc immediately.
There is a possibility your wound is infected - pain is a common symptom of that. Is it inflamed? Are you feverish? Anyway you should make an appointment to see a nurse or doctor today.
Only after removal can doctors be sure whether a patient had appendicitis. So some appendices are removed unnecessarily.
You need to have your mom or dad call up the hospital and get ahold of the doctor who did the surgery. Let the doctor know that the pain medications you are taking are not enough to relieve you amount of pain. Tell them to increase the dosage or give you something else for the pain. There are many types of pain medications, so if one doesn't work there are others avail. It is normal for you to still be in pain. It was after all a major surgery.
Call your doctor. That's the only good advice you are going to get here. Have your parents contact the doc or the hospital. If you were my son I would take you back to the ER at the hospital you had the operation at. Good luck
sounds like a infection,, don't mess with that,, get back to the Doc right away..
