i am 23 and am really getting cheesed off. i have had 2 penacinal abseses sergically removed thank god no returns last two years. after getting pregnant i started suffering really bad on both legs. after endless anti biotics i was refered for surgery. i had a wound of 8 inches wide and 3 on other leg removed. it was left wide open and to my flesh beds it was horrific. and was not explained wat i was having done only to look at the mess they had left. it was the most painfull thing i have ever had done. i am left with very big scars only to discover it didnt work. they are getting worse now i get 4 or 5 at a time. i feel violently sick and giddy before they fill. the poision that comes out is alot. i am at my wits end i am a single mum and cant meet anyone else because i am embarrased can anyone help me stop them please.
