Or will the internal stitches burst the wound is deep goes from my inner thigh to about 3 inches away from my knee. It didn't hurt any muscles or ligaments all what the stitches holding together is fat and the staples are holding together my main wound. I got the surgery 6 days ago and plan to golf tomorrow...any recommendations?
