Asked By:Rebekah46281

I’m SIX MONTHS POST OP and I have this Gum-ball sized, hard, painful, bump above my bellybutton. The pain is extremely sharp bursts which make its hard for me to lift my arms, sleep on my side, wear non-elastic wait pants, it is disruptive to my life. It’s not fluid, already had an ultrasound. PS used a mini jackhammer thing on it two weeks ago to, even gave me an injection in the lump to stop the pain. Neither worked. I’m worried I’ll need a revision…. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
