    My whole scar area and around go really sore at this stage. Keep taking the pain killers. I was just on paracetamol and started taking ibuprofen as well and still do after 6 weeks. Also pain was worst as day went on I think body is trying to tell you that you have done too much. Do some total rest days when you have to lie in bed a lot. Boring but it helps.

    Yes that is what I also experienced - in the absence of infection on hindsight I think it was the start of sensation returning. It will generally resolve they tell me by 3 months!

    Yes I had It Im sure it is quiet normal, part of the healing process and to do with the nerve endings when they cut through the skin and muscle layers, I an 9 weeks post op and still have the numb skin but no pain. you are stilll very early into your recovery so rest, rest and more rest.
