[Watchful]

Hello William,

I get occasional pains which are certainly unpleasant and disturbing, but not excruciating. They tend to be triggered by certain activities and positions. For example, when crouching or sitting cross legged a lot, or slouching on a chair. I would call these pains moderate – not minor, but not severe either. They tend to go away on their own, or after stopping the activity, changing positions, or resting. I also have abnormal skin sensations in the area – numbness and paresthesia. I still have the hard healing ridge in the incision area, and it’s sensitive and painful when pressed. The healing ridge has decreased in size over time, but it’s a slow process.
