Hard lump under top incision

Posted , 7 users are following.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem, I keep getting a shooting pain from my top incision and have noticed a pea size hard lump underneath I have read that it can be scar tissue but just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if I should see my doc or not? It's nearly three months since my op.

      Yes I also have one under the belly button incision, I wouldn't be worried but I'm getting shooting pains in them both as well and they're still so sensitive to touch it's been three months since my op

    Ultra sound, CT or MRI ordered by your dr can identify the mass you are feeling . Could be build up of collagen causing scar tissue.

    Hi Sarah

    I am almost 8 weeks post op and i have somethin of a lump about 4 inches long by 1 inch just under and around my incision. Hoping it is just scar tissue.

    Will be getting it looked at soon.

    I was googling the same problem today hoping it's not a hernia! It's been 2 weeks since my operation it was done on Oct 18th and today is the 31st Halloween. I feel a lump under the top Incision as well it's where the gallbladder was pulled out from I'm hoping that its just because it's healing I'm a little worried because the doctor said no lifting anything over 10 pounds but I have a 4 month old and I have to pick her up sometimes even with her in the car seat. I really hope it's not a hernia because that's what the doctor said would happen. I also feel like a little Stabbing pain I also think maybe I heard it with My bra because of the wire has on the bottom so I try not to wear wired bra for now until I heal a little better. Please keep me updated if you find out anything about that pain thank you!
