I have had 2 tricuspic valve replacement one in july 2015 & another in november 2015. i had infective endocarditis and now have pain left of incision.

Tricuspic valve repl: Do you do drugs?, You had the valve replaced twice within 4 months. DO you know the organism? For how long were you on IV antibiotics, the first and second times. Before the first operation, were you on antibiotics? was the organism resistant? Did you had pulmonary septic embolism? Is the pain constant, do you have fever, is it localized, is the area of pain expanding? if yes to all you may have
