Sensitivity and Burning After Tummy Tuck

January 5, 2009
Asked By:beaches2961 in Georgetown, USA

I am 7-8 weeks post op from a tummy tuck and am experiencing extreme senstivity, burning, shocking feelings throughout my abdomen, scar and pubic area. Is there anything I can do to ease these feelings? It is really starting to wear on my nerves. I cannot wear anything that is going to move against my skin. I am working on weaning myself from the support garments. The only thing that helps some is a vinegar bath. I have taken OTC pain relievers but they barely take the edge off. Please provide me with ANY suggestions or recommendations that will relieve these feelings.
