What are these wierd feelings? Maybe nerves reconnecting?

Hey TT/LBL post-ops... I had a LBL with lip on the outter thighs a little over 4 weeks ago. Today I started having these wierd, sporadic, sort of twitching or slightly painful feelings on my side. It almost feels like a small electric shock. I'm thinking that maybe it's my nerves starting to reconnect. Maybe it's something else.

Have any of you experienced this?

Thanks, Alice

I have had those same feelings. In the past I was told it was all part of healing but I have no explanation. It could also be dissolvable stitches letting go.

thanks, I'm glad I'm not alone. It is really hard to even describe the feeling....

I had lipo on my arms and I can tell you have the same sensations. It is worse when I am cold. It's just part of the healing and I've heard other patients speak of it happening with Lipo.

hi, I call it the "burn". It is part of healing, but I found it more difficult than the pain! I'm 5 weeks out now, and it seems to be lessening quite a bit. The lipo on my hips just plain hurts still, with burning-didn't expect that, but it is better every day.

thanks for telling me it will get better! I needed some hope, because it is almost unbearable at times!

yeah, that kinda describes it. I had lipo on my outter thighs but haven't felt it there. Just on the back hip. Haven't had any of it today. Thank heavens!

Thanks for the reply, Alice

I call them "tings" sometimes mild sometimes severe....they come and go with no real rhyme or reason just part of the healing...
