Post Tummy tuck ????

Hi

I had my full TT on August 26, and to be honest the worst part was the UTI I got from the freakin catheter. Pain was minimal - more discomfort than anything

My JP. Drains were removed after 7 days with no issues. Had a small part above my pubic bone that wasn't right - dr had me try antibiotics & bacitracin. Had to go back in once a week to have Fluid removed for several weeks

Wound still wasn't getting better 3 weeks ago- dr debrided it and had me put a cream in it and pack it. Saw him last week and wound is shrinking & healing AND no fluid for the first time

NOW - here's my question. Did anyone else have pain like right near hips weeks after TT? I am in more pain now that right after. It's sporadic- worse the more I do. And hurts when I stand/walk. Asked doc and he said normal with healing process. But- I am impatient.

I did some additional research on my own and I think the pain I am experiencing is the stretching of the nerves/scar tissues over my hip area. It sucks, but at least it will pass

Hopefully it passes quickly for you! Congrats on your new figure:)

Thank you. It reall isn't a difficult recovery. It's tiring at times. And this stretching is the worst. I finally started walking again and going to work out tomorrow

My incision site along my hips still hurts and I had surgery in March!

You're not alone.

I find the longer I am still ie sitting the more it hurts.

Thanks Alien

I find it hurts when I am getting up or sitting down. I can take the dog for a walk and I'm okay, but simple stuff around the house and it kills

I am also trying massaging the spots to see if that helps
