I had a tummy tuck 7 weeks ago with a very large diastasis repair. my doctor used non dissolvable stitches to repair the diastasis. One of the stiches is poking out and not only do you see it but it is extremely sensitive to the touch. If my daughter hits it with her foot I see stars. I do not think I can live with it. Can it be removed and if so, how? In addition I feel still feel a lot of pain around my center where the diastasis was fixed- its like a burning and sharp pain. Could that be a reaction to the stitches?
