Anyone Have Sensitivity By Cuts

[kenbr14 12]

I am 3 1/2 months out and doing great. One issue I am having is the sensitivity on my belly where they cut me. At times it even hurts when I touch it. Is anyone having these issues? Is this normal after this amount of time?

I have no sensitivity with mine but scars are known to be that way for a long time on some people. I dont know about the hurting part, maybe call the doc and find out for sure what he thinks.

I'm 10 weeks out. Mine aren't really sensitive but there have been two instances while I was asleep I woke up because they were burning. It felt like I was being sliced open.

I have sensitivity on the skin above my biggest cut. It's more of an annoyance than any pain really, kind of like chaffed skin I guess or heat rash feeling. Drives me nuts when my clothes are on it. 2 weeks out, hope it goes away, but if not I will live with it

Jenny that's is exactly what I'm talking about. You described it much better then I did. My skin was sensitive to heat before the surgery more then the average person so I'm wondering if that's the reason here too.

lol, I have been trying to describe it to my husband for 2 weeks that is the best I could come up with. My doc said it was just my nerves responding in that area because that is where he did "the work" through so it had more "damage" to recover from.

The area around the incisions was really sensitive for a few months after surgery just as was described (burning/cutting), but now almost two years later it's just not an issue at all. I do, however, have some residual numbness near my bellybutton, but I don't notice it unless I'm actively touching the area.

JennyB I have the same exact thing! Good. I feel normal now.
