The incision didn’t not hurt at all, wonderful work. However there was burning pain anytime I moved, real tender. It was the bandage! I have a nice rectangle of blisters (yucky fluid filled) where the bandage adhesive was, not a skin allergy. It’s called “Traction Blistering”, sort of like an Indian rope burn. The adhesive is so immobilizing to the skin that movement pulls the tissue tearing at it literally causing friction burns. My own research sort of pissed me off since it said it’s totally avoidable. Every time I moved I thought the incision hurt but it was the bandage biting me!
The Dr. was like “that happens sometimes”, yeah thanks. The bandage was lots worse than the knife work. Just FWIW, look it up yourself. Very common to some types of procedures.
