Burning Skin anyone?
The skin is not burning - it's not even hot. But I have the sensation that the skin is burning. It's more bothersome at night. I'm wondering if it could be the nerves growing back that is giving me this feeling. Has anyone else experienced anything like this. Oh, it is no where near the incisions - it's about the mid-thigh area (post LBL).
Thanks

I am only 5 days out TT but I have that sensation on my stomach quite a few inches above the incision area. I attribuited it to the muscle tightening and also like you say to the nerves. I was told that it might be quite some time before sensation returned to normal.

Thanks Marilyn - I'm glad to see I'm not alone with the sensation - it's a little weird isn't it - you would think you're on fire bu the skin is cool to touch. I guess I will live with it and hope for normal to return soon. I had my LBL on November 2nd. I hear it could take up to 6 months before feeling normal again. The sooner the better.

I had that after my Brachioplasty and breast reduction (not yet after the tummy tuck)....I was told by my surgeons that it is the nerves healing. It lasted about 10 days for me (didn't happen 24 hrs a day but enough to be annoying).
If you are concerned it's always best to check with your surgeon.
Hope that helps

Awesome question!!! I have a burning, searing type of pain in a circle about golf ball size right on my hipbones. I was wondering what I'd done wrong since it's not near the incisions. Now I feel better knowing it's happened to others and sounds like it's a pretty normal happening.
