I've seen a pain specialist and had a nerve block to diagnose the pain I'm experiencing after Tummy Tuck. This doctor concluded that it was at least one or more neuromas. But he also said that reoperating would not be the route to go because 50% of the time it made the burning pain worse and it caused it to spread to a larger area. Has anyone seen this and/or reoperated for a neuroma? Thank you for your time.
9mpo from TT, BR, lipo. Right and upper side of navel is a hard lump, visible through skin, and hurts all the time. When i sit, aross my whole stomach, I feel like muscles cave inward/bend. I have signifiant skin/fat when i sit that its so uncomfortable. Even when laying there are folds in the skin. I have been to my dr multple times and he says nothing is wrong. I know something is. Tried other consults and they refer me right back to my dr. I need someone to listen and talk through.
Persistent pain and sensory abnormalities after abdominoplasty. I am very upset that I ever got this surgery, because a year after this life changing surgery, I have discomfort and tightness in the area. When my twins squeeze my belly area, the skin actually hurts. It's painful. Let's say a button, or belt buckle rubs on it, it hurts. I have this hard ball near the incision area. Can a pseudobursa be causing this. Surgeon ignored the possibility of a seroma. I'm so unhappy because of the pain. Please help. My surgeon is sloppy. Don't direct me to him.
I have donelot of research and seen reviews. Every patient says you have to have very good pain tollerance for TT. It's verry painful to repair DR in TT. Whereas when I consulted doxtors they say its more of discomfort rager than pain and pain is just for 2 days post opp and we give very good pain management meds in india than west. What is true? Will it be very painful producedure in india or not?
I had an extended tummy tuck in May 2022, so Im right around the six month mark and Ive been having pain on the right side where the hourglass curve starts all the way to the belly button and it feels like nerve pain. I also feel like there may be a little bit more fat left over in that area. If I wear full compression or a belly wrap and everything is kept completely flat, the pain goes away. If I wear a compression tank top, like my doctor has instructed, the pain comes back. Is this normal?
I have pain at my left side L2 lumbar and it shoots down to my left hip and then at my labia area in between legs. I have done PT and injections but nothing helps and I am thinking this is from my tummy tuck?
I had tummy tuck in jul 23, almost a year now I still have numbness's. andpain in my left side of abdominal 2inch away from my belly button. If I wear trousers or walk too much it gets really bad. I have very high pain tolerance. I surgeon told me last time its the internal stitches may not have healed but the pain isnt getting better and its around 1 inch of the area that has stabbing pain. What test can I ask for or what can they do to check. Surgeon isnt very helpful. So regret it
