A member asked:

10 weeks after abdominal surgery the scare has healed but the area is still hard and sometimes hurts or stings is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual: Nerve endings are repairing and scar tissue is forming so those postoperative symptoms aren't unusual. However if there's significant tenderness, a retained suture could be present. Redness or pus would be of concern. Notify your surgeon as needed.
