Asked By:lolisa85 in Florida, NY

Had a tt 2.5 weeks ago and my area around bb is hard tender and slightly raised. I had a hernia above bb that was repaired and am super paranoid it has opened up. It does not feel the same as before its oval shaped going across abdominal area. Im feeling depressed right now. Please help best pic i could get thanks!
