    Default Soreness at insision site almost 4 weeks out?

    Sunday I had a lot of discomfort in the left middle insision. Now today some discomfort today in the top one. It's not real painfully but just seems odd this far out. Has anyone else had this?

    I hit 4 weeks today and my biggest incision still bothers me a little. It has a funny little bump in it too but the surgeon says it will go away in a few months.

    Mine hurt for almost two months and seemed to get worse. Then one day it was totally gone! MD said that is where they sutured my stomach muscles the most or something, can't quite remember.

    I'm almost 6 weeks out and I still have a little discomfort in a couple of my incisions. I have asked about it and they tell me that it's perfectly normal and the tenderness will become less and less. I also experience a little itching at the sights from time to time. It's all a part of the healing process I guess. Great to hear we are all experiencing the same issues. Best of luck to you all!

    Well, I guess I feel much better bc I was getting impatient, wanting to exercise NOW, I am only 12 days out & also had a large hernia that I think maybe will result in a little more soreness. Thanks all for the info.
