What Is Causing Stinging Sensation At Bottom Of Spine After Back Surgeries?
I have just noticed a stinging sensation at the very bottom of my spine between my buttocks which seems to be seeping some type of fluid. I m quite concerned now as I ve had 2 lower back surgeries a couple of years ago and now have type 2 diabetes. I really would appreciate your advice please.Julie-Anne

well since u having diabetes with history of surgery two times at back ,it seems as if u have some sort of cutaneous infection at surgical site which is flaring up because of diabetes .
1.u need to check ur blood sugar levels and to control if its out of range
2.clinical examination is must to look whether its cutaneous or some sort of deep infection
3.it could be fistulous tract also
4.consult to ur surgeon also fo the same
5 till u consult some one maintain proper hygiene at that place
6.u can apply ointment like Neosporin also there to prevent progression of infection
