Reply To: Chronic pain

[Watchful]

Jtk2,

Really sorry to hear that. Did you ask him where he was stitching when you felt this bad pain during surgery? Did he check if there was a nerve close to where he was stitching? It may give a clue about what might have happened, particularly if a nerve in that area is consistent with the chronic pain you’re experiencing. The pain may also be unrelated to that incident, of course.

I was also thinking about what I would do in case of recurrence, and reached the same conclusion that lap mesh would probably be the least bad option if (God forbid) this happens.
