Am I the only one struggling with pain?
Fitmama019February 24, 2016
Hi all! I am 7 weeks PO now and loving my results. I am starting to get feeling back in my stomach and I must say that I feel like someone beat the crap out of my stomach. It looks good but it feels bruised and painful. Sometimes I have stabbing pains in my incision site. My breasts have settled more but still are having some pain as the nerves are reconnecting. Anyone else feel this pain as the nerves reconnect?? Thanks!

I've had a few zings here and there. I would probably describe the zings like a searing or quick burning pain. Both in the breast and the TT. But I know what you mean about feeling beat up. Just Sunday I had what felt like bruising Under my skin right in the center of my TT. I think I over did it that day. When I pressed on it, it hurt as if I had a bruise, but there was nothing there to the naked eye. All sounds like part of the process though :)

I'm a year past my TT, but I do remember having the burning pains of the nerves regenerating. I remember it feeling like someone heated a metal clothes hanger over a fire and then placed it on my incision for about 3-4 seconds. I'd rub the area frantically to make it stop or help it along somehow but it would go away as quick as it started. I do remember feeling bruised for a while where I had lipo (flanks). Make sure you're massaging your scars in circular motions to keep the scar tissue from being thicker in a certain area, it will help it soften over time as well. It hurt to massage my incision right in the middle over my hair, and so I didn't do it there as much as I should have and that's where the scar tissue is thicker now.

Oh and maybe I never felt the pain in my abdomen like you describe is because I'm still numb, my numbness never went away. :/

Great to see an update from you!! Just this week my ribs and sides started feeling bruised! Must be about the time some of the numbing starts wearing off. I am still completely number around and below my belly button. My Dr said yesterday it sometimes takes a year to get feeling back in that area. I tend to get a tight pulling feeling in my sides...hoping that eases up soon! I had the nerve reconnecting thing earlier on..I am hoping not to go thru that again! Hang in there!!

Are you allowed to wear undersides yet? Looking great!!!
February 3, 2016
Yes, I can wear under wires. Thank you! Still stiff by the end of the day and swelling hurts, but I really can't complain. My scars are looking good and boobs are dropping!
February 3, 2016
Ugh. I have my cg for at least another 3 weeks (my next appt) and no under wire until 8 weeks.

Hi there! I am healing well. Swelling is going down, feeling coming back, but is it normal to feel incredibly bruised as you get more feeling??
How are you??
