Do i have a case against this dr.or is this just an unfortunate really unfortunate recovery for me?

Post surgical pain and discomfort are to be expected, but when or if they are caused by an infected incision or other cause, and you have objective signs and symptoms of infection, such as fever, redness, streaking, swelling, or warmth around the incision site, the most important thing to do is get in to see your physician or surgeon or the ER asap.

It sounds like you did that, and you are fortunate to have caught any infection as soon as you did. That said, the possibility always exists for surgical or post-surgical infection, and this can (and often does) occur without any doctor or hospital negligence.

It sounds from what you say that if you reported your symptoms to the doctor's office and they didn't follow up, that you may have a potential case or claim for damages. I don't know and I cannot say for certain, based on what you've said above, but I would contact an attorney in your area to discuss the situation.

Hope this helps.
