How Long Does It Take For The Foot Surgery Incision Site To Heal After Infection?
I had foot surgery approximately 7 weeks ago to remove a bone spur and cyst on the top of my foot. It went well until 2 weeks ago, 5 weeks post surgery go infected. I am on my second round of antibiotics. It is healing but I still have fluid and swelling around the incision. Do you think this time frame of healing an infection is normal? At what point would you consider getting a second option?
