C-section abscess. Please read.

I am typing this to hopefully help others. I am 10 days post op. Currently in the hospital awaiting a surgery to drain a huge abscess under my incision in the morning. I had no fever, or pus, bleeding prior to this. I only caught it because I had a bulge and the right side of my stomach was bigger than my left. I also had chills/shakes/body aches with NO fever. And the pain was not that bad i was able to walk. I almost missed getting this treated because everything i felt weren’t red flags. Please watch out for any of this even if u don’t have a fever or worsening pain. I am glad to have caught this now as it could’ve turned into something worse. I posted on here not too long ago about the body aches. But this was the answer. I called the doctor 3 days ago and told them what was happening they just said to take tylenol and ibuprofen. Listen to your body. This shit is scary and i am so scared for tomorrow’s surgery.

Severe body aches?

I am 9 days post c-section and i am having a miserable time and have to constantly rely on ibuprofen and tylenol every 6 hours. They actually stop working at 5 hours so there’s an hour where i’m in pain. it’s not even my incision area at all it’s my shoulders and back. It feels like i’m having the flu but my temp is 97.7. I’m talking body aches when u have the worst sickness of your life. They are accompanied by feeling so cold and not able to get warm. Is this common? Has anyone experienced this? What could it be from? I have no infection at the incision site and i’m currently drying out my breast milk which i’m only pumping 2 min a day when i feel super engorged right now. Please help it’s worsening my anxiety and just my over all well being all while having baby blues.
