Five weeks post Op

Its been five weeks today and my skin feels numb, is this normal? Has anyone ever felt this?

I noticed last week that the skin above my incision area on my lower stomach felt numb, but isnt numb now.

I didn't have any incisions with this surgery, but I did have the old fashioned big-scar gall bladder surgery years ago. I remember that below the incision, it was numb and remained so for quite some time (like months).

So this may go away, hopefully!!!!! Thank you all for your feedback...

It probably will once the nerves get back together

Before my SAH I had 2 c-sections. If I remember right it takes a bit to come back. I think with my second c-section it took a little over a year. It comes back but it will still feel weird even when it does come back. It takes a bit for the muscles and nerves to recover.

That makes lots of sense, our body's go through a lot...

After my c sections, knee surgery, and now this surgery I have felt numbness around the incisions also. Like the others have mentioned, it takes awhile to come back. My knee surgery was Nov 2010 and I still have some tingly numbness when I touch it.
