Im honestly not sure if its a blister, but its pinker and brighter than the rest of it. So Im not so sure. I hear a lot about wounds separating, I just hope everything is ok. Ive attached photos.
Three weeks ago I had my THIRD umbilical hernia repair surgery. This time performed robotically with mesh placed. I have had diahrrea every day about 6-7 times a day starting one week after surgery. Also, a pulling pain started last night where hernia was repaired and mesh placed. I could barely sit up last night without help due to the pain and the repair area skin was very hot. I don't have any redness or other symptoms of infection.
Fit & healthy (age 31) - my wound has no signs of infection however there is swelling above the scar. - skin is extremely sensitive - wearing tight clothing is painful - I feel very swollen 'inside'. A pulling sensation extends into my thigh area - sitting in car feels very uncomfortable bordering on painful - I can't walk at a fast pace. How do you know if there inflammation inside even if outside wound looks healthy? The discomfort is really getting to me as I feel healing is not progressing?
I feel like something is wrong. I didn't have any of these pains before today during healing...I bent over this morning and felt like I was being stabbed with a knife right above my belly button. Then throughout the entire day they just randomly come. I reached to scratch my leg or put my seatbelt on or just standing doing nothing...it seems strange. Should I be worried? My hernia was really tiny and only took a stich to repair. I don't feel like I should be having pain like this at this point.
