What Does Soreness Around A Surgical Inscision Indicate?
I had my right hip replaced one and a half years ago. Now where the cut was made has developed a sore. I went to the doctor and he lanced it open. He checked my blood for infection and took a culture and said everything was good. That was six weeks ago and its still draining. Is that normal, and how long should it drain.

Hello Dear.
Thank you for using HealthcareMagic.
I read your query and I understand your concern. I think there is an infection at your operation wound.
Except drainage you need to take antibiotics orally.
Talk to you doctor about it.
Hope my answer was helpful.
Best Regards.
