Answers:
Yes it is very normal for a scar to hurt or even tingle after surgury. When your body is cut into nerves are damaged and when your body heals it sometimes takes a bit longer for you nerves to heal the pain or tingling is the nerve ending growing back. Now sometimes there may be a slight tingle which some people think is painful that my not go away because the nerve endings don't always grow back...Health Question & Answer

sometimes. i surgery on my hand ((carpal tunnel)) and i've got a scar there. it was fine after about 2 weeks. i had a c-section for my son and that scar hurt for about 2 MONTHS. so it varies. im not a doctor, so i can only scare my personal experiences.

all i can say is, if it gets to the point where its interfering with yer daily life or its EXCRUCIATING, then you need to call your doctor or surgeon. he or she can tell you exactly what to do. or maybe take a look at it.

good luck babe and feel better! xoxoxHealth Question & Answer
