Rig pain

I can't help on the pain issue as mine was absolutely no problem .  Maybe it is an infection, but I always had a small about of seepage from my PEG site.  Tended to be light yellow and crusted over.  Never did find out what it was but again it caused me no problem.

More importantly, I hope you have a great weekend despite the problems.  Enjoy being spoilt rotten! 

Cheers Peter 

Hi Mark, i had a RIG which did get sore and red from time to time, I just used to bathe it with warm water, a few times a day, which usually cleared it up.

Hello jMark

Like Peter, my RIG didn’t cause me any pain.  I too got slight weeping from it but it didn’t cause me any discomfort.  I swabbed it gently with a cotton bud to stop any accumulation.  At one point I got a small lump which developed under the plastic disc, which was uncomfortable.  District Nurse advised me to use hydrocortisone cream and hey presto it disappeared.  Rant away….although that’s a pretty mild rant by any standards….we’ve all done it!  Enjoy your weekend

Apologies for the redundant ‘j’. Don’t know what happened there.

Hi Liz ,

Thank you for settling my nerves ! X

Hi Mark

PEG for me ....couple of infections ....antibiotics cleared up the first one....second one required a visit from the district nurse...anti fungal steroid cream....it was an ongoing task keeping the feeding tube insertion point clean and free from inflammation...always a worry, life saver but I was immensely relieved when it was removed

Thanks Peter ,I'm sure it will be ok 

had a PEG, but like you it it was a bugger to keep the yucky crust off.. was swabbed for infection, etc.. I was cleaning it 3 times a day in the beginning, but it slowly cleared up towards the end..
