Hi everyone

It has been a while but I have been keeping an eye on posts I am havinging trouble with my P.E.G now I went to the Doctors who called in a Nurse My P.E.G is now Bleeding and is also very sore and as it is the only way for me to eat or drink or have medication you can see that it is very painful for me to do most things, I strap the P.E.G tube to my tummy to stop it hanging loose it is keeping me awake at night still they say thjat it should get better in time so i have to go back and forth to the Nurse almost every day to get the dressing changed..

all for now

Hi James

Dont know how recent your PEG went in but my hubby had the same trouble with his for a while, he too strapped it to his stomache but I asked if he needed anti-biotics as surely all that soreness and bleeding cant be down to just movement. A short while later he had an abcess come up around the PEG site.

Keep a close eye on it and keep telling them how destressed your getting with the sleepless nights and the discomfort.

Good luck, hope you get relief soon
