I second all of the above. Don't wait till next Wednesday to get it looked at. If there is also a secondary thing going on like infection, and I'm not saying there is, but, you need to be seen sooner rather than later. Don't take no for an answer. You just had surgery, so they should be able to squeeze you in, if you're having post-surgery problems. Demand it. I had two back surgeries that had to be re-opened, for reasons different from yours, but am here if you would like to PM me. But first....get yourself to your Dr. Glad you found us. Let us know how it goes. We care.
