Message: <blockquote data-quote="B.A._Bigmacus" data-source="post: 1712744" data-attributes="member: 438083">Hello everyone,This is a little gross so apologies in advance if it does gross you out.I have been incredibly ill since Sunday night. When I phoned the docs on Monday they said I was describing a viral infection and that I should just rest and recover.On Sunday I had some pain in my lower groin area, where the leg attached to the butt. Right in the crease. I thought nothing of it. Come Tuesday I'm still hugely feverish, vomiting etc etc but feel down below and there's a 'pop' and lots of fluid from the area.Now I'm in agony with it and the doc says it's infected - antibiotics prescribed and started.I've always had massive issues with infection - I get them easily and heal terribly. The thing that's worrying me about this is the amount of fluid that is continually coming from it. There is a lot and it's constant. Do I need to do anything about this or just put up and hope it clears soon?P.S. type 2 diabetic for around 10 years and admittedly poorly controlled. Currently taking Glucophage as well as other bits that come with it. Also have terrible circulation in legs with neuropathy in feet/lower legs.Thanks in advance and again, sorry if you got grossed out by this post!</blockquote>
