Partial nempfractomy
I had a partial nempfractomy about 3 weeks ago. Wound looks good but sensitive to the touch and painful. Is this normal at this stage in healing?
It's pretty normal to experience pain for a little while from a surgery like that, is the wound warm to the touch at all? That's more of something you should look for, here's a list of warning signs that you need to call the doctor for:
Your incision becomes red or swollen
The skin around your incision is warmer than elsewhere and is slightly red
There is drainage from your incision
There is an opening in your incision
You are having difficulty passing urine or your urine output becomes less than it
normally has been
There are chills or fever of 101 or more
Severe pain that is not relieved by pain medication
It never hurts to call the doctor and just check in to see if what you are feeling is normal- so if you are worried, go ahead and call in.
Feel better soon!
