Every time I try and straighten up my skin breaks and start bleeding. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I am happy with the overall result so far but this open wound above the incision is a bit irritating.

On a more positive note. I was able to take my daughter to the park today. After an hour I was so tired and in so much pain we had to leave.

I have called and sent pics. They keep telling me it's normal. It burns and it's very uncomfortable. It makes me regret the procedure sometimes. I think I will check in with a PS in my home town. Thank you!

Have you spoken to Dr. C about it? I would think if you sent this picture, he would tell you the correct thing to do I would hope. Please keep us updated!

I have only spoke with Jenny! While she's been great in assisting the problem seems to be getting worse. I think I will travel back Tuesday or Wednesday to have him look at it in person.

Okay, let us know what he says. I think he is really good about calling back though.

You should request to speak to Dr C. They will have him call you. Since your going in you should express your concerns and tell him that in the future I would like to speak with you.

Hello! Just wound care. They told me I a visit wasn't necessary. It has healed but the scar is ugly. I plan to get the scar revised in the near future

I am still very sore! Dr. C told me not to remove the tape to let it fall off. I particially think the tape is the reason I'm still slumped over a little. I can not wait to be able to walk straight up again. I drove my car today and was so happy because I feel like I'm getting my independence back.

Thanks for the update. I am sure it is frustrating to not walk all the way upright, but I think by two weeks you should be. That is great you can drive now too. I know I am not looking forward to being dependant on anyone. Happy healings. You look great!

I am wondering if it's normal to have large air bubbles in the drains??
