My tummy skin hurts???!
Hi all,
So I am just a little under 3 weeks out and I went back to work this last monday everything was going pretty well, however the one thing that still bothers me is that my skin hurts all across my belly. Not just where the incisions are but the whole thing. It really bothers me to have clothes rub on it, almost like having a burn and something rubbing on it all day... So I started wearing a tighter undershirt to keep the rubbing to a minimum while I am at work, but it still gets really sore... When I go for my walks at work, I have to hold my arm across my tummy so it doesn't rub so much... It is really starting to get annoying, I do realize I am really only a few days over 2 weeks out of the hospital, but this is the weirdest thing since it isn't really where the incisions are, it is the rest of my skin..
Anyone else have this issue? Do you know of anything to help it? I have actually thought about getting one of the binders just so I don't have to feel the pain, but I am hoping it goes away soon.
*At home I tuck my shirts up under my bra so they don't rub against my tummy, but I don't think that would be acceptable at work LOL
Thanks again for the advice!
Shannon
