I wore the compression garments as advised I have approximately a 2"-4" rounded, thick hard ridge along the incision that protrudes when I lay down, very hard. I saw it soon after surgery & while i was wearing compression. My surgeon seemed uncomfortable, but said it was just me, my body, nothing to be done. Now he says it is the "repair" but will not elaborate on that, & i do not think it will go down at all. It took all the $ I had as a single mom I just wanted to feel better about myself.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. Please talk to your doctor about these symptoms, he will probably order lab tests to verify blood count and rule out anemia.
Good luck :)
