Infection after Surgery

Update: I had my follow up review today following the antibiotics and infection appears to be on the surface rather than internal.

Swelling and redness has reduced. I can resume cycling within 7-10 days based on the pain coming from the area. I'll probably start cycling again today if I'm honest.

Wow man this is an incredible news. You must be thrilled about it.

Just curious, which antibiotics did they give you when they discovered this infection? and for how long?

Thanks. It was a 7 day dose, 3 times a day.
Amoxicillin and Clavulanic 625mg

Sorry it was ten days and not seven.

Sorry it was ten days and not seven.

So you already finished the 10 days? And all looks normal?

I'll be finished it on Friday.
He said I shouldn't need anymore.

There is a hematoma around some of the area but he reckons the body should absorb that over the next few weeks.

Wow, close call.
Infections are scary.

I would douse both hands in anti-bacterial soap 2-3x's before re-starting the cycling.
Glad to know you're going to be fine.

Some aren't that lucky.

Best to you.
