    Hi

    i did not have the same operation but have learnt how to deal with sensitivity after my CTR last year. I know it will '' go thro' you'' but you need to introduce the nerve endings in the skin to a variety of textures. I used cotton wool, rough towel and toothbrush. Have them by your chair where you sit the most and run them over the sensitive area frequently. You will be amazed how quickly your skin gets that normal feeling back.

    good luck, Elaine
