Re: infection around biopsy site

[Guest guest]

My son had an infection with one of his biopsies, but antibiotics

took care of it, and it did not turn into a big problem for him.

Sorry to hear about this complication. I hope the antibiotics do the

trick.

called me back today.

Hi ,

So sorry to hear that you have an infection at the site of your biopsy. I had my

biopsy done on my upper thigh area, and I didn't get an infection.

When did you call your neurologist? Maybe she is busy and I do hope she gets

back to you real soon. If not, please call her again, she needs to know what is

happening.

What kind of shot did they give you in the ER? What type of antibiotics did they

put you on? Did the hospital call the surgeon who performed your biopsy? Did

they suggest that you use a warm soak or anything like that to help with the

pain?

Is your arm sore and red? Have you been over using your arm? I can only suggest

that you try not to use your arm so much and to try to relax. Did the ER

actually say they didn't know if the antibiotics would stop the infection? If so

I wonder why they would say that. How bad is your arm? How long has the biopsy

site looked like it was getting infected.?

Good Luck. I hope she calls you back tonight.

Hugs,

infection around biopsy site

hey all,

Arm update from my muscle biopsy.

I had to go to the ER today, I am starting to get an infection around the

biopsy site. They gave me a shot and put me on antibiotics but they don't know

if it is going to stop it or not. They told me to call the neurologist that did

it but she never called me back today.

Did this happen to anyone else? Let me know what else I can do.

thanks,

I had what I thought was an infection in my last biopsy in my leg. I drove

all the way to Cleveland to be told it was inflammation, not an infection.

I'm still not sure as I had been putting anti-bacterial cream on it. I had

to pack it for months to get it to heal.

Good luck with yours.
