Mystery skin pain when bending



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping someone might be able to help shed some light on an odd pain I've been feeling the past week or so. I am about 3 weeks post- surgery, and when I bend over I get this sharp, almost like a burning pain on my lower stomach. It feels like it's something irritating my skin, and not internal. It's also not near any incisions. It's the area in the center of my lower belly below my belly button. Has anyone else experienced this or something similar?

Definitely call your doc about this.

Maybe your skin is dry? Put a few drops of pure Vitamin E on it.

I had something similar a few months back. I wouldn't describe it as "pain" just a pulling sensation that was not comfortable. Extra moisturizer helped.

I had similar and was just told it is normal (for me) as it's new tissue and healing happening.
