New to Site

Hi, I just found this site today and it has helped answer a lot of my questions. I had a TAH on Sept. 13, 2007. I've been experiencing the numbness and tingling in my belly and thought I was crazy until I found this site. I do have a question though. I have a hard lump or knot above my incision on my left side. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

welcome, i just found this site myself it has helped me alot to i also have numbness and the tingles in my belly and the doc also told me this is normal my hard lump is right in the middle of my belly right below my belly button doc says its just the way i am healing it might go away it might not the numbness is the same way it's the healing process and that it should go away in time.

Thanks for the info. It makes me feel more at ease

i know what you mean my doc answers every question i have and he doesn't make me feel like an idiot but i have question at odd times in the evening and i can usually find the anwser in this forum and sometimes i am not the most comfortable asking him some questions and then again sometimes i feel no matter what he's says that iam the only woman feeling the way i do and there can't be another soul in the world that is going thru the same thing that i am . It's reassureing that there are more women going thru this and i can talk to them about it

Iam on week 5 and still do have some numbness and tingling on/in belly, it has lessen with time. I also still have a small lump/bump on the left of my incision, my doctor thought it was ok. Walking is the best thing you can do, start small. I am only going round the block still at 5 weeks. The more iam on my feet the more my belly swells. take care
