>Hello Anonymous,

I had intergel a year ago and I had no reaction that I can think of from the intergel or the procedure. I think that if your incision is burning it may be a normal part of healing because it does take some time for the nerves to regenerate and heal inside. I did have another surgery in April this year when there was nothing used as an adhesion barrier and I did have burning in my incision and It has gone now. It is a very high possiblity that youa re just experiencing nerve regeneration healing. Sincerely LIllian >I had gynecological surgery on
