8 weeks post-op TT with muscle repair: intense burning muscle pain when I roll over onto my side. Is that normal?

Thanks so much for reaching out. After tummy tuck various sensations of burning and pulling may persist for weeks and even months. It will likely get better within a year. I hope this helps :-) 

Hello! If you had a muscle repair this may be a little sensory nerve caught in the suture repair of your muscles. Sometimes this will get better with anti-inflammatories, warmth and massage. You should definitely mention your symptoms to your surgeon and consider making an appointment. A steroid injection may help!

During TT recovery, some patients experience this burning sensation for as long as three months.  If the pain intensifies or occurs more frequently, follow up with your PS.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

This sounds like a sensory nerve problem, possible irritation.  Since you are in the early stages of healing, it will likely get better with time. The best thing to do is see your surgeon to make sure it is nothing else.  Good luck.

it sounds like you have an inflamed or irritated nerve. this is not what most people experience. however, i suspect very strongly that it will just go away with time (over several weeks) and you will never really know why it occurred. i doubt very much it is anything serious (other than being uncomfortable for you!!). you may want to massage the area gently.if it persists, see your plastic surgeon.david berman md
