Has anyone developed a lump on incision site?

[Lovemygirls2]

I am two weeks post op- and doing well!  I feel better than I have felt in a year!  The majority of my symptoms are gone!  I have one question though.  Is there anyone that has had the surgery that developed a lump on the incision site?  It's a pretty massive lump- so much so that when people come to visit- they look at my head and say, Whoa what is that lump???  Seriously- it looks like a growth!  I went Monday and had the staples removed and asked the nurse about the lump.  She said it was fine- not oozing, not infected, etc.  She said it was just swollen.  I was just wondering if anyone else had one of these appear and if so- how long before it goes away?  I mean it looks like my head has a new shape!  It's gross!  My incision hasn't grossed anyone out- but the lump....yep!  And- it is a little sore!  It's hard to lay my head back because this massive lump makes it uncomfortable!  Thanks all!  :)

Well it ended up being just a pin hole size hole in his patch and it wouldnt have been a problem but at some point he ripped the stitches that were there to heal the muscles that they had to cut apart. The spinal fluid got behind those muscles and was causing alot of pain and eating at his muscles.
Just left him in ICU tonight. He will be in there for 5 days because they put a drain in it to let things heal without pressure building.

  Wow...it tore that easily?.... does he bruise easy?...slow to heal?

  I would ask about checking for Ehlers-Danlos and he may be better with sterri strips and glue then staples....

   Know I will keep him in my prayers

He got sick the other day and when he threw up he ended ripping apart his patch. So now his lump is HUGE like you can put your hand over it.
Sitting in waiting room now waiting on surgery. Keep you posted
