Stinging scars

It's 3 weeks since my stitches were removed and foot redressed. The long scar from the scarf procedure is stinging more and more and also feels really tender when I touch the side of my foot, even over the padding and bandage (and no, I've not been standing for hours or overdoing it) and I've started taking painkillers again. Is this quite normal?

      Hi Beanie. Thank you for the recommendation. Parts of the scar are still really tender so I'll take your advice. I know someone who is also a consultant for aloe vera products, possibly the same range, so will get on with it. I used a bed cradle to keep the duvet off my foot; I tried without once the pin was removed on Friday but quickly reverted to using it, ouch. Yours sounded unbearably sore so glad to hear it's improving.
