Is your incision healed yet?

Hi everyone! Just a quick question. Is anyone out there still have their incision draining? Not that I am complaining, I am doing great, and would do it again in a heartbeat. But I still have draining going on, and I wanted to know if this is common. Most of my incision is healed, except the very bottom of it, where it still hurts, has a little ball of flesh (the size of a dime) and drains. I go back to my Doctor next Tuesday and he will probably burn it off with silver nitraite, that is what he did last time, 5 weeks ago, and it hurt bad. Does anyone know how to heal it quicker? Thanks!!!

I had surgery April 3 and my incision is completely healed, in fact I am back in the gym lifting weights. My incision healed pretty rapidly and I think that was due to first, my great surgeon and secondly trying to get the right amount of protein in. I do not know if the draining is common but after this long I would definetly have it checked especially if he has already burned it off once. Good Luck and let us know what happens!

Colleen, My incision is tottaly healed but all people are diffrent. I would just make sure to keep it clean and let air get to it as often as possible. Be causious about putting things like neosporin on it. I was told that letting it heal is better. I hope all goes well at your Drs appointment.
