How long did your incision pain last?

I’m having the common pain I read so much about at the incision next to my bellybutton. How long did this last for you?

I think you'll get a variety of answers here. I had almost no pain at my incisions. Good luck to you, though!

I didnt have pain at first, but at 10 days I developed sharp pain at the main incision site. It felt like there was an embedded knife, and it hurt when I moved. That pain went away after about a week, as suddenly as it came.

I’m three weeks out and I still have sharp burning pain in my left side. I still can’t bend over or reach down and sitting in a chair or in the car is still uncomfortable. For the first 8days the pain was awful that it hurt just to sit on the toilet and I had to have someone pull up my pants. I don’t have the excruciating pain as much anymore, but I still have trouble getting comfortable in bed.

I am about 6 months out and it doesnt feel comfortable when my girlfriend puts her arm around me on my incisions.

Most of the pain/discomfort was gone the first week, though there’s still mild tenderness at two weeks on the larger incisions.
