Today I'm 7 weeks post-op and on either side of my incision I have a burning sensation on my skin whenever I put a shirt on. It only happens when fabric very lightly rubs against the surface of my skin and extends out mostly on my right side about 4 inches. It is driving me up the wall.
I'm told it is the nerve endings trying to find their way after being disrupted. Does everyone get this sensation after surgery? If you have had this how long did this last? Any way to soothe it or ease the sensation? I'm trying to get an idea how long this will take to resolve itself. Will be going back to work in one week and am worried about having to deal with this issue then.
Thanks!
