Incision pain

Since day one my righty has been more painful than lefty. I've always had a little pain at the incision site. I thought it could be a tight stitch or the end of a stitch digging in.
Last night i had the most awful stinging, burning pain. It lasted about a hour, it hurt when i moved or breathed. It was that bad it reduced me to tears.
I rang the 24hr emergency line who asked me to go through to Manchester (i live about 90 mins away) but while i was getting ready the pain subsided to a manageable level. I rang them back and they said take co-codamol and ring the transform nurse.
Mr H took a look under my dressing to see if there was any blood or discharge, there isn't but the steri strips have caused a crease in my skin and it looks like they're healing into my wound.
I've rang the nurse this morning and she's told me if i go through she'll squeeze me in. I'm terrified because i know this is really going to hurt.

Aw sweetie it might be a bit stingy but if that is whats happening you need to get it sorted out now and it will be so much better when the nurse has had a look and sorted it out. What time do you have to go there? Let us know how you get on xx

She just told me to turn up and wait because she's fully booked today. My post op was booked for tomorrow but i can't wait. I'm scared i've got the beginning of an infection. I'll definitely keep you upated.

It doesn't sound like an infection sweetheart The pain generally doesn't go away and there's usually some redness around the site and discharge, or swelling, a hot boob, a temperature or generally feeling unwell.

I'm hoping it's just nerve pain you're experiencing hun. It can be really painful at times, like stabbing pains. Not nice at all .

all goes well today lovely. Will be thinking of you and hoping you aren't waiting too long. xx

Good luck today hun, you will be fine your in the best hands xx

good luck hun, hope ur ok x

There's no infection! Nurse said it sounds like nerve or vein damage. So still in pain but no bad news. I can also have a proper shower now. Yey! I've also been told to massage them so MrH is happy.
