I have had non-stop pain and cramping since the first surgery and my first doc made me think I was imagining it. I went to another dr who gave me this surgery. I have 4 small incisions and each one is KILLING me--literally--with a super itchy rash. I want to dig them all with brushes! I had an allergy band on when I had the surgery saying I was allergic to tape, but I guess that wasn't enough. OMG, thanks for the posts--I thought this wasn't normal and thought I had an infection or something. It is worse than the worst poison oak I've had--and I have had bad poison oak before. One of the strips fell off today so I will see if that rash disappears. I'm going to shower tomorrow again and encourage the rest to come off. Thanks ladies and I pray the best for all of you.

Ruthie, As you can see by my signature, I had a very similar experience to yours and in the same time frame. Wow! Do at least call your doc. in case it is infection though.
