One more question!!!
Ok. As most of you know I'm 6 days out.
All of my incisions are healing great except the largest one has been hurting like crazy! I assumed its because its the biggest one and it gets moved around alot. My mom is a nurse so I let her look at it this morning to check for infection, but I have no signs. I was at her house this evening and the pain just kept getting worse so she looked at it again and there's a knot or a hard lump under it. She mentioned a hernia and I've felt it also and there is definitely a lump that is very very tender. And opinions? What should I do? Thanks in advance for bothering you guys again!

YOUR NEVER a bother! :) that's what we are all here for!! Does your surgeon have an after hour number that you can call? Have you thought about going to the ER...sorry if these seem like dumb, or duh-uh suggestions...just want to help =)
Just had a laproscopic surgery and I have the same thing. It's from the work that was done through that main incision and just needs time to heal.as long as it is not red, hot or oozing *****ou are ok. Now if the pain does get worse get to the ER ASAP. When you are able to take vitamins, I suggest CoQ10 to help with healing and elasticity.

I had a significant lump that grew around the two week mark. I suffered in silence for about a week and when I felt worse in week 3 than I did in week 2, I called the dr. Turns out I had torn stitches! My hubby had the beginnings of a know and dr told him it was scar tissue. Best bet is call the dr...
