I, like many of you had veins harvested from my legs. One three inch cut up top and one 3 inch down by knee on each leg. In my second week I started getting large goose eggs under the cuts on my lower part of my legs. These turned out to be fluid pocket. Fifth week, doc. cuts into these and up leg three more inches, add drain tubes and stiches up the new area. Soon after these areas start swelling also. Large amounts of fluid draining from tubes. Seventh week, doc removes tubes, stiches and fluid still draining even from holes where stiches were. Today, Eight week, two days, he informs me he want to cut again. This time from the very top of the top cut to the bottom of the bottom cut. This will be from my crotch to my knee. He plans to leave this open and pack it to heal in this way. I'm about to lose it. I just got home with the wife from meeting him at the emergency room where they had to open the wounds to let them drain again. I came here first to ask, PLEASE, SOMEONE, tell me they've been through this same thing and know another way to fix it. He said take my time, keep the wounds packed and draining and decide if I want to keep up this process or to have him operate. There seems to be no end to the draining, it just keep coming. Its been draining for 6 weeks and I really don't think it will ever quit. Do you think a wound Clinic could help? Please, someone, I'm a pretty tough cookie but this is staring to eat me up. Damn it, I hate it when I cry.
