I'd seriously love to hear from these people their stories. Both me and my mom are so helpless, stressed and mentally disturbed for as long as she met an accident our lives have gone upside down.
As for the oozing, its still there as day 1. I got in touch with her doctor he said he wants to avoid surgery. He asked to get the puss cultured and give another go to the antibiotics that come sensitive to the bacteria. Meanwhile i have to dress her wound 3 times day sometimes 4. Can it be that the bone is infected which keeps getting these wounds coming? Attaching an Xray of a sight of implat removal.

Hi @hirachohan, I removed your mom's x-ray image because it contained patient and institution identifying information. Mayo Clinic Connect is a public website and we take your security seriously. You can certainly repost the image if you like, but please remove the identifying info at the bottom.
Keep in mind, that we are fellow patients and caregivers and cannot diagnosed. I'm glad that your mom's doctor is pursuing the issue and getting a culture.
