Will Dissolvable Stitches Have "Pop" Feeling on TT Incision? Or Is This Something Else?

February 24, 2012
Asked By:luckyme007 in Calgary, AB

I am 4 weeks 2 days po from TT surgery today while I was just standing I felt a "pop" in my incision line. I thought it opened until I looked and it was fine and closed. It had burning sensation for about 2 min and is tender to touch. Is it just the disolvable stitches or should I be concerned? Thanks
