A member asked:

I had laprascopic surgery 2 weeks ago now i have this sharp pain in one of my incisions with stitches...will this go away and how long will it last ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: As skin numbness resolves at a healing incision site, a tingling and sharp burning feeling may occur. This resolves over a few days. If you still have visible stitches, it is likely time to have them removed as they can cause skin irritation too.
