Pain and soreness below large incision

[lynn225 0]

Has anyone ever experienced any pain and burning type sensation about 3 inches below the large incision. I don't know if this is where the pouch is located. Feels a little swollen. I am two weeks post of.

Where is your large incision? Others have posted that it is on their left side, but mine is on my right. ??

I'm almost a week out and the only discomfort I'm having right now from my incisions is ITCHING!!

my left lower incision which appears to be the largest feels numb and tingly around it. it is definitely the most tender.

Large incision is on my left side, but the pain is below it about 2-3 inches or below the belly button on the left side.

I am 2 weeks out today and I have an occasional burning sensation below my largest incision. Glad to hear I am not the only one. I just assume that that was the incision that took the most abuse and needs the most TLC! Can't wait for these silly incisions to heal!!!!

If you're worried about pain and especially if you have swelling please contact your doctor immediately! Rather overreact than underreact - if there is nothing wrong, great, at least you have peace of mind. If there is something wrong (God forbid) the sooner you get it taken care of the better!

Good luck and let us know how things go...

Do not worry it a totally normal. I went to doctor cuz I thought maybe I tore something it hurt so bad. It's where they had to cut thru muscle together to tummy. I am 2 months out and it is still soar. Not much pain anymore like before, but tender.

Thanks all, kept me from worrying too much til I got in touch with my surgeon's assistant. She said I probably twisted or turned quickly or wrong and possibly tore scar tissue or upset a muscle. She said to apply heating pad and it should settle back down in the next couple of days. Said to take Tylenol or pain med's. I had got a little brave because I was doing so good ( drove three hours, been in small pool working legs, doing WII) You just get to where you feel so good. Don't knoew if it is the diet, losing a little weight, or just pumped up and excited about losing the weight.
