tummy tuck
I had a tummy tuck 3 wks ago, and although my incision and navel are dry and well heal, i have a sharp pain in the left side of my incision. It is not a constant pain, but happens when i walk and its very uncomfortable. my apt is dam, cold and humid. my mother says this could be the reason. anything to worry about ? my doctor said to take motrin 600mg.

At three weeks post surgery, it is unlikely that your discomfort is a serious matter. There is still lots of healing going on and it is common to experience this kind of pain at this stage. If it persists, see your surgeon again.
My tummy tuck was twelve weeks ago and I still have ab open wound and pain in my left side. My doctor seem to think this is normal.
Thank you so much for your answer. My pain went away and although im not 100% yet, I feel so much better. thanks.
