A little interesting medical note, surgery went great
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.
I had it done maybe 10 years ago but I had the
nylon patch put in. Never had any problems and still fine today.
Same here, had left side fixed 2 times then on
The 3rd they put a mesh in, that was around 2000 I think. Glad your doing good Scotty!
The bandage they put on my shoulder 5 weeks ago was weird, kinda like soft duct tape , that sucked taking it off. See the surgeon tomorrow for post op check up.
See if I can find a pic of that bandage.
