Had an umbilical hernia repaired 3 months ago. Ps said he didn't completely "repair/close" it because risk of it dying. Not sure if I understood correctly. Now I notice a flap of skin or something coming out along side bb. Ps said its scar tissue and normal.but my bb hurts. When I laugh, bend, push on it. I get a like a sharp pain inside. Is this normal? Does my bb look ok? Some days its really swollen and puffy others its looks smaller even "deflated." What do I do? Will i need to repair it?
