I.D. Specialist, now: Your main concern is that you need to be sure that you are being treated by the right specialist. Based on what you ave described, you might seek out an infection specialist for a second opinion. These conditions can get out of hand quickly at times. Your family doctor od even the surgeon should be able to arrange the consult, if they haven't already.
