My father underwent rotator cuff repair surgery on May 16. After surgery, the wound developed persistent drainage. The discharge is sometimes light yellow and sometimes thick yellow/pus-like. The opening is very small, but the drainage has continued for almost 2–3 months. He has taken antibiotics, which temporarily reduced the drainage, but it has not completely stopped.
Recent blood tests, including CRP and CBC, have been done. His surgeon suspects that the internal sutures/material used for the rotator cuff repair may be causing a reaction or may be associated with the infection, and has suggested removing the material and doing debridement.
We are worried about another surgery and would like an orthopedic shoulder specialist's opinion on whether another procedure is necessary and whether there are any other options.

I have been going to the gym for the past 2-3 weeks and since 3-4 days I have noticed a bump in the left side of my right wrist. It is a slightly stiff bump and pains when I bend my wrist backwards. Its size reduces the day I rest but increases again after going to gym. It is something I should be worried about?
