question: i had surgery on my back on august 21, hardware removal of my lower spine. my incision site is not healing well. my staples were taken out 14 days later. my incision has areas on it that are reopening and draining yellow sticky feeling drainage. it doesn t have a smell. i have been back to my doctor office and they are aware of situation, so they gave me antibiotics to take by mouth for 14 days. the nurse steri- stripped the 5 areas that were opening. they didnt think anything bad was really happening. they told me that i was healing slowly but it would be okay. i am diabetic, but my blood sugars have been in control. i am scared of not healing and something worse arising from this situation. what can i do?
