Asked By:retiredflyer in Scotland, United Kingdom

I am 12 days post from a TT and muscle repair. I have had a severe burning pain around 4cm from my breast bone and assumed it was just muscle pain. I had my first shower on Sunday and felt a large ball shape in the area where the pain is and now have a large dent below this ball? The burning sensation never goes away and I am now worried the surgery has cause this hernia or caused it to be noticable? I am unsure why there is a large dent/dimple is also? My PS is located thousands of miles away.
