infected again
ppsk:
my infection is back, exact same spot, same beginnings.
Sucks, really thought i was out of the woods. Looks like it might be the medpor that is infected after all. I'll go to the GP tomorrow and get a course of antibiotics, start scheduling to consult a surgeon about removal. I do know there are people who have done multiple courses of antibiotics and sometimes never have another infection, but personally I'm at a point where I feel like the aesthetic contribution the medpor makes isnt that significant and I'd rather not have to live with the risk factor.
The surgeon I'm going to consult with does PEEK customs, so I'll have a look, but unless I feel like he can deliver on something that is actually a significant improvement, i wont bother and will just get removal alone.

Was it jaw implants? What symptoms did you have that made you know it was infected?

yes medpor jaw angle implants
starts off with a strange sensation in the area, when pressed on almost feels like a numb nerve, then within 24 hours progresses to swelling and light pain when touched.

Sorry to hear this. From what I know about medpor, you may have to move fast before it becomes too hard to remove.

Really sucks :(
I hope the removal goes smoothly.
