smarie Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Has anyone ever had infection? I started having a burning feeling a couple of weeks ago after a fill (sternal port), Went on 5 days antiabiotics- with resolution for a few days then return of symptoms. My dr has put me on 10 more days of ab's - and scheduled me for a fluoroscope on the 13th of Sept. I was just wondering what the symptoms and treatment for infection with a fill are??? any info would be appreciated. :-? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clynn Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dr Ortiz would be the best person to answer this question. This is exactly why he gives out his cell number to patients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckee Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm curious to know how you were diagnosed with infection. I had my first fill on Aug. 17. In the past week or so I've been experiencing pain at my port site and wondered if it could be infection. You're the first person to post this topic. I'd like to know how many others experience pain at port site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
