Hello well, the first thing that comes to mind is the hives, which would imply some sort of allergy. I do not know about the medication that was infused, and I do not know the "blood thinners" that you are taking, there are many and they are different in how they work. It sounds like the IVs infiltrated and then there was a reaction to the infiltrated medication. There is a lot more information that I would need to get to the bottom of this. I suggest that you see a Hematologist in your area, they can get to the bottom of this better than I can with so little information.

Hello, it is possible it is old blood or a fluid collection or it could be swelling of the cord (if this is an inguinal hernia), if it is a hematoma it takes a long time to go away and it cannot be drained with a needle. It may be a good idea to go back to the surgeon or your primary provider and ask them to order an ultrasound of the area to better determine what this could be. It is rare for there to be swelling this far out from surgery.

Bleeding/loss of blood?
Hello, I am sorry for your friend's situation. So to start with if a patient presents with a history of anemia and passing blood per rectum and has a history of heavy drinking READ MORE
Hello, I am sorry for your friend's situation. So to start with if a patient presents with a history of anemia and passing blood per rectum and has a history of heavy drinking then the next step is to do an endoscopy of the stomach and colon. That should provide the answers. Yes, vodka or any alcohol can cause inflammation of the stomach and pain and bleed, and if her drinking has progressed to cirrhosis then the bleeding can be bad. These are difficult situations and I would recommend that she be honest with her doctor, it is difficult to make the correct diagnosis with the wrong starting point.

Poloxamer 407?
Hello, Well my understanding of this question is that it is not the blood supply but getting the individual nerves to join up. Nerves heal very slowly if at all and usually end READ MORE
Hello, Well my understanding of this question is that it is not the blood supply but getting the individual nerves to join up. Nerves heal very slowly if at all and usually end in a scarred lump that does not work to communicate information, as illustrated in spinal cord injuries. If an electronic workaround can be found then there could be a way but as I understand it the blood supply is not the problem.
Do we have to do endoscopy?

Hello, well for starters I cannot read any of the attached files, but I do appreciate the attempt. I think that the purpose is to look for any remaining varices that have not been treated and this is common to look again for this. Not knowing the case well, I tend to agree with the treating physician. Ask them why they want to re-scope him and if it makes sense why they want to do this then proceed.

Hello, wound problems occurs after surgery, it is always a risk, it is more likely if it is an emergency operation. I doubt that immunity had anything to do with it and usually the cause is never known. I favor opening the wound and washing it out, however antibiotics will work too but usually take longer. Keep in touch with the doctor and report any fevers.
