I had my TT and muscle repair done 2 years ago with a small vertical incision and I was very happy with the result. I had 1 seroma drained twice. My tt always felt tight but around Christmas 2014 it started feeling uncomfortable, like it was being stretched, my GP prescribed nortriptalyne for nerve pain and my surgeon couldnt find anything wrong on examination.
