My husband is currently suffering from an abscess on the lower part of his back. He made an appt last week to see his GP & was seen Fri lunchtime. The doctor examined him & prescribed a course of anti-biotics. At the time the abscess was very red & had a substantial yellow area in the middle. He started taking them straight away & is still taking them now. He was given a 7day course. The pain my husband is in got so bad that y'day we called up to the A&E dept near our home to see if there was anything they could do there & then. The triage nurse recommended that he wait until his course of anti-biotics has finished before doing anything else as the yellow area had reduced. My husband is in serious pain. He isn't eating, or sleeping because of it. When anything touches it he is in agony. He can't sit, he can't stand, he can't walk around. We thought once the anti-biotics started to work the pain would lessen but it has got much much worse! Has anyone had any experience of this?
