Suggest Remedy For Extreme Pain At The Site Of Incision
I recently had a ruptured appendix surgery which left me with a eight inch vertical scar, three inches above the belly button and five inches below. its been about eight weeks. how ever I am experiencing extreme pain on the right side of the incision. the pain is a burning type and sensitive to touch, it is extremely apparent with any type of abdominal movement. I get a small amount of relief when wearing a Post-operative binder to help support abdomen. The pain is just below the dermal layer and above the abdominal muscle. Ive had an ultrasound to check for hernia and it showed no signs of muscle damage. My primary care doctor dose not know what the cause of pain might be. The pain seems to be geting worse on a daily basis
Post operative pain is not uncommon..may be nearby nerves branches are entraped after surgery commonly known as entrapment neuropathy.and.it should be examined out by a specialist..and proper nerve block is the treatment of choice..before this any infection and foreign body after surgery must be ruled out. Hv a gud day
