Specializes in General Practice

Call your surgeon: I suggest you call your surgeon immediately and discuss your symptoms. If your surgeon is not available go to a clinic for an exam as soon as possible. You may have an infection or some other post surgical problem which needs immediate treatment. I wish you well with your health!
