I had a thr after a fall 18 months ago. I'm 69 and all things considered it went great. until a week ago. I was getting in the car to drive and I felt something pull very close to the scar. since then it is swollen, hurts to bend over, hurts to sit and hurts more to stand up from sitting. I haven't called the doctor because we changed insurance and he isn't in our new plan. I tried ice but I couldn't move after I iced it. I was thinking maybe scar tissue tore but honestly don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone else?

    You need to call a Surgeon. Get a referral from your Primary Doc or call your new Ins Company. You have a problem that needs to be addressed
