Dear Helen,
Can you explain why this only happen during the vertical incision & not
the bikini incision? How soon would the entraped nerves take to cause
pain? Most of my surgeries were bikini cut, but my last one, Aug 2001,
was the verticalincision. Do the intraped nerves only cause pain at the
bottom of the incision or can it also cause pain at the top, or anywhere
along the incision? I am not having any pain along my vertical incision,
but it sounds interesting as well as painfull.
