Hi ive not long had surgery on left hand about 2and half weeks and wound is not healing well ,any ideas as i have diabetes and told this can slow up the healing process so any suggestions would be a help.thanks barb

Hi There I suppose im expecting it to heal overnight ,not very patient at the best of times ,I had stitches out on Monday this week and they were concerned then that it wasnt healing ,infact the nurse taking them out called another nurse as she didnt want to take all of them out but was told to as they had been in for two weeks, i was just told to keep dressing on for three days and keep elevated as very swollen and then nothing so made appointment with own doctor for today as i feel a little unwell ,feeling a bit sick and headache so maybe infection ,I am hoping they will also give some advice on what to do with it,thanks for replying to me .Barb
