Drain wounds won’t heal

Posted by usaf @usaf, Jun 29, 2024

I had my drain tubes removed 6 weeks ago.
I still have bile coming out from the wounds, so they are not healing. Anyone else have this problem!

How did the appointment go, @usaf? Did you get referred to a wound nurse?

Hi,
No I have not been referred to a wound specialist. They did a bunch of billiary bloodwork and going in for a cat scan and colonoscopy to see if there is any internal damage.
