Felt A "pop" - Gross

[cherrybombknits 184]

A couple of my incision sites are kinda bumpy, so I was rubbing the one on my left side absentmindedly. I swear I felt a "pop" on the inside, like a pimple sorta. Now my left side hurts. The incision line isn't discolored at all, if fact it's flat now. I don't want to call my sugeons' office without a fever or something (they are a pain), but I am freaking out a little. Sleeved 10/4/12.

Is there Fluid?

My guess is a small adhesion let lose. Stuff gets stuck on each other after an operation, if left for long tissue and organs can grow together - GOOD if that's what it needs to do as in the case of an incision, BAD if it's an internal organ or abdominal wall sticking to something else.

Monitor it pain persists or a fever or redness presents then call the doc or go to the emergency room.

I had the same thing happen when I put mederma on my scar the other morning. I do massage for a living so I know the "pop's" can be quite common. I think the sound happens when you are breaking up the scar tissue so don't be too surprised if it happens again. But I agree with Rootman- it shouldn't hurt more than a day, maybe two, and definitely monitor for redness and fever. Hope this helps!

This is something that I would call my surgeon's office. That's what their for......Plus it will ease your mind too. No harm, no foul.... Let us know...

Thank you everyone. It already feels better, just a little tender. I will keep an eye on it and report any further weirdness.
