-- I also had surgery laproscopic. 5 incisions were made to remove a 6 cm cyst. At first the doctor thought it was just an ovarian cyst and later found out that it is endometriosis. Well since then i have had problems and am not sure if i'm out of the red. Last week one of my incisions started leaking pus and clear liquid pretty bad. I went to the doctor and he said it was draining and keep gauze on it. He prescribed levaquin. It has been a week and the incison in still leaking. Not letting up much either. Two other incision marks have hard knots around them that are about two inches around it. Is this normal? How long before i can go back to work also? I have no fever either. But am very cold a lot and keep having nausea. I am constantly tired too. Anybody else ever have problems like this?
