Tags: abdomen, burning

I had a tummy tuck 13 months ago. There is one area that constantly burns. I had the typically tightness for a couple of months that was very tolerable but the area to the left of my belly button and about 2 inches in length really burns at certain times of day. This happens when I run, sneeze and escpecially when I wake up in the morning. I have really noticed it progressing the last 6 months.

Pain in abdomen 13 months after tummy tuck

This is not typical and you should have it evaluated by your surgeon, It is most likely scar tissue with nerve involvement. However, it could be due to other treatable conditions.
