I need help. Has anybody else had this happen? it has been 3 1/2 months. The doctor who performed this surgery kept telling me I am fine at least twice a week or more. Once I asked them how long was the longest for anyone to heal and the response was three months.

At the three month marker I decided to seek another opinion. As I thought, I have delayed wound healing. I don't know what is going to happen. I cannot do any of my activities. My life, as I know it, has drastically changed. The new Dr. says possibly a year and then I will know the damage.

Here are more details:

never expected complications to happen to me

none

Healing aids used:
Not Specified

Number of doctors consulted:
1

Number of years I thought about having the procedure:
1

Had an elective procedure before:

Delayed wound healing
