incisions causing pain

[JaspersGirl 147]

I don't know if my incision areas were asleep and numb for the past 21days after my surgery? As of today they are kinda hurting Before they were numb to touch, n now they are just ouching away. All my steri strips fell off and everything seems fine. One of them has a huge bump around that area, but it was the biggest incision so it maybe because of brusing? If it was a hernia, it would be painful right? It doesn't hurt when I touch it, only if I press on it. Should I worry, or is this normal?

The only incision that hurts me is the one where the drain was. It's a bid wider and larger than the other four. I'm a little nervous about this as well. I am also worried about a hernia, but I have a feeling that a hernia would hurt tremendously. But I'm not sure. Hopefully someone has some feedback on this.

Maybe call or email your surgeon's office. I definitely felt discomfort when I pressed or rubbed my drain scar for a while, but I never felt actual pain and there was never any swelling once it closed up. That scar is puffier and a bit more raised and darker than the other scars, even eight months out. I massage the scars daily to help break down the scar tissue and smooth them out. No pain. So, I'd say better safe than sorry and get it checked out by the doc.

Hernias don't always hurt. I had one for 8 years and it never once caused me any pain. Call your surgeon to see what he or she thinks.

It could possibly be a ceroma. I had the same situation in my incision, after I had my hysterectomy. Definitely call your surgeon as soon as possible.
