pain near incision....

Anyone else having pain near their incision? i'm having shooting pains that come and go where my drain was... is this normal? Sondra

I haven't had any, but my hubby was told it can be nerve endings. He's had pain from his appendix incision for a few years. Jan

Interesting . .. I did not have a drain, but I have a spot on the right side of my incision where there are little . . . lumps, I guess I'd call them . .. that protrude enough to be visible, and are quite tender. I am going to talk to my PCP about it this week. Have you checked with your doc or your surgeon??? Jezia

Sondra... NO, call the doc. This sounds scary to me. Call doc now. ~Diana~

I had pains on and off, to me thats normal they go away when they want, I am almost 6 months out, and I get them once in awhile, also I didn't have drains so i can't help u in that part

I just talked to my Dr about the pains on the left side near the drain incision. He said they were scartissue that is growing or tiny pieces that have stretched from certain movements from the body. He said unless it is totally unbearable not to worry about it. Mine kinda take my breath away when I breath in deep for about 20-30 mins then it goes away. Hope this helps Kim
