Incision appears to be open in a spot
hi all,
I had my abdominal hysterectomy on the 14th and have done pretty well. No pain meds other than motrin since the day of surgery. My biggest issue right now is that I had 3 previous c-sections and they used the same incision for my hysterectomy, today the incision appears to be open in a spot in the middle. This happened with my last c-section in December of '08 and I told the doc about this, so they said they "repaired" the incision, but it appears this hasn't worked. Anyone else out there with this issue? I'm not scheduled to see him again until 10/29, so I guess if this continues I'll have to call and get in to see him.

Jenn,
I didn't have problems w my incision but the way you describe your problem I think you shouldn't wait and give your doctor's office a call. It is better to call and discover there is no big issue than wait and regret later.
Best wishes for quick recovery and take care

Hi (((jenn516)))
I agree that you should contact your doctor. I'm sure you already have the information on how to care for your incision since it has happened before, but maybe your doctor will want to approach the issue in a different way because you continue to have problems. So sorry to hear that you have to deal with this yet again. Take care!
