is anyone else's incision still tender????

I am curious to know if anyone else is still having trouble with the incision(s) being tender? Mine are bothe still very tender and it has been 5 weeks since my surgery. It hurts if my pant legs are touching them! It is even tender if I touch them??!! I just thought I would check with all of you who are going through this with me!! I want to know when it won't be so tender anymore!! Thanks again! Mandy

Re: is anyone else's incision still tender????

Yes, mine are still tender, not so much during the day but definitely at night. In fact, I often wake up to the incisions hurting and I have a hard time going back to sleep.

I found something interesting. My right foot has always been more tender b/c the cut was much more mangled than the left. As a result, I have put globs of aloe vera gel on it, as it really takes the sting away. I put aloe on the left foot as well, but not nearly as much as the right one. Now, my right foot looks so much better than my left foot incision-wise. It is a very light pink, and before it was a lot redder than the left. I am now putting globs of aloe on my left foot because the aloe has obviously really helped with the healing.

what you want to do is gently begin massaging the area going perpendicular
to the incision. Hope that makes sense.

I don't notice mine at all, although it is not completely flat (I had subcuticalar absorbable sutures)
I am using Mederma gel on it (to fade scars) and massage w/ camellia oil (Vit E probably just as good)

Re: is anyone else's incision still tender????

My incision still hurts if I touch it & it's been 8 weeks. Still has a big nasty looking scab too. I think it just takes a long time for the wound to heal, since we're abusing it more than, say, an abdominal wound. Even if you only weigh 100 lbs, think of the pressure & twisting involved in walking on that poor foot.
