Reply to "Mushroom Drain"

Hey Rebecca,

I know your message wasn't directed torward me but I've dealt with mushroom drains in the past. Whenever I would start feeling pressure and internal pain it's because the drain had stopped working. It moved out of place but in my case I had an abscess. So instead of draining, it started collecting fluid again. I only took two of my drains out myself by pulling them. But I also knew the stitch was gone. The other times I had Dr. Remzi pull them when I had a scheduled EUA (Evaluation under anesthesia). I highly doubt the ER could do it but who am I to say that. You are in good hands with Dr. Remzi and I'm jealous he's in New York now. If you can last, I wonder if it's possible for one of his other doctors to perform an EUA and remove the drain. The thing is, idk that your symptoms will get any better with it out. I'm sorry for your troubles, I hope that they can be resolved. 

Shane
