After having a tummy tuck what are some of the long term possibly life long issues that I may have to live with or are possible? I hear some ladies say 3 to 10 years after they never regained full feeling to their area between incision and belly button. Some say alot of swelling they still deal with and not just with their menstrual cycles. Also some say there still have the pins and needles sensation in the lower and upper abdomen. Any info and help is and will be so appreciated. Thank you very much.
2. How long can this take to heal? I am having excrushating pain in my abdomen feeling like burning and pins and needles what is causing this pain and what can help it? And how long will I have this pain?
Just recently part of my abdomen between my belly button and scar has recently gone numb as well as a piece on left hand side. Middle area has pins and needles sensation. PS has no idea what is happening and either do I. Scar looks fine. Had a steroid shot (kenelog) 2cc to the middle scar to reduce redness. Numbness happened one week after this. I was told the steroid shot would not cause any damage..can someone help me I have no clue what has gone wrong.
On Sunday it started my legs mostly calfs and feet are randomly getting pins and needles. My legs do not appear to be swollen. I was told to walk every hour and I have done that. Except for bedtime. Yesterday and today I actually have been walking more. It has stayed more consisted . After I walk a while maybe 10 minutes it seems to settle down but as soon as I sit down it comes back. I am still wearing compression stockings. Is this normal?
I have a feeling of pins and needles sticking me in the upper abdomen. It's still sort of numb. There's a little pooch in the lower area. No real pain but tightness when I eat. I still wear my binder for support, it makes me feel better. Are these feelings normal after 3.5 mos post op?
