lump at incision

Has anyone ever had an experience with a nodule/lump ocurring at the incision site after a stertactic biopsy? I had it done ten days ago and now there is a palpable lump the size of a pea right at the incision site.

Hi, just read your message on the lump on your neck, I just had 4,5, and 6 anterior fusion and I have the same lump at the neck incision area, my surgery was 11/18/14 and was never given a neck brace even after i mentioned it, so two days after going home I called and got a perscription steriod pack and told to use ice packs at the site. did the ice and working on the precription, so far swelling is smaller but still feels knotted up, Have you had any luck with this?

i had an open choly and 12 months later notice a lump at the incision site (6 inch) at the time it was a lump the size of 1/2 a small tangerine - but in the 11 months it took me to get surgical intervention (uk nhs waiting list) it had grown to the size of 1/2 a melon and was very uncomfortable - a large portion of intestine was through the muscle but was not entraped as the hole was so large - i went to the dr as it was not scar tissue (if i laid down on my back- the lump initially went, but i

Hi, I think it's normal I noticed a knot or lump at my incision site as well it and any bruising will eventually go away. I just relaxed a lot and geeked out playing Skyrim , ME3 and a few others lol. It took me a good 6 months before I felt "normal" again so just try to relax take care of yourself and take it slow like michellepetkus said.

I had my forst cseccsection last week saturday and right above my incision on the left side I have a lump and it hurts more then the incision does anybody know why this is there??

I have this golf ball size knot forming right below my incision. I have no symptoms like fever or nausea, but wondered should I be concerned. I am bad about passing stuff off, but my friend says I should get this checked out. My follow up is Tuesday.

t resolve. The first lump seemed to heal after several weeks but left thickened tissue near my origial incision line. The second lump kept forming and and extremely irritating. My PS injected it w a steroid shot. He was reticent in removing it as it was about the size of a pea and he was afraid of taking too much tissue in that area and causing what is described as a "turkey neck". The lump kept organizing until it got to a place where my PS could remove it.

Your Surgeon is right,telling you that this is normal,but if he/she did not examine the lump,then you should have it checked out,particularly if the lump is increasing in size or show signs of redness or irritation that could indicate an infection. If your surgeon,after examining you, thinks you are healing well,then try not to worry.... Eventually the hardness will soften and the lump will reabsorb.Be patient because it could take quite a while to have the lump completely gone. Best wishes...

I have had swelling, bruising, lots of breast soreness, 2 -3 inches beyond the incision. The incision itself looks great just a little red. At times it feels like I have a scrap, a burning feeling. My nipple is sore too. There is no discharge from the nipple or incision. When can I expect to feel nothing, just normal? It has been over 3 weeks and I feel horrible for still not feeling good. It could have been worse. It could have been cancer and I am lucky. Are these syptoms normal?

It then got better, the hard lump disappeared and was good for a couple weeks. Now I my earlobe does not have a hard lump but i feel a soft squichy texture,my ear is a bit inflamated and a bit painful when it is touched. What could this be ?WHat Should i Do? Is there any home remedies?

How big is the lump where here spay incision is? It's not uncommon for there to be a bump where the incision is, depending on how skilled a stitcher the vet is who performed the surgery, sometimes the incision can be QUITE bumpy as it heals, and even afterward for a while. It could be coincidental, or it could mean that she ate something that you didn't know she ate and that's what's giving her the diarrhea, or it could be something more serious.

I had an incision in my belly button (which has only stopped leaking from an infection) a 5cm line above my bikini line, a little incision on my left side and a incision on my right side, which is near my lump now. It makes sense if this is related to everything that has happened, but I don’t understand why it is getting worse. Any advice or understanding on the matter would be fantastic. I am so depressed and stressed out at the moment and its effecting everything!!!

My lump is directly above my incision. There were no stitches or staples used to close up my incision, they used some kind of "superglue" because it minimzes the appearance of a scar. I still have th lump, still very tight and stiff in the area. To top it off, some of the glue is still there and slowly peeling off (GROSS), I can't exactly scrub the area because it is still sensitive.

My incision area is slightly bruised with a small hard knot which from what I read is totally normal. The incision is at about the 11 o'clock area on my left breast. Is it also normal to have a small lump appear directly below the nipple(at about the 6 o'clock area)? I never had any lumps before. The entire nipple is very sensitive now and the lump can appear a bit bruised too. Is this a hematoma related to the biopsy. It kind of freaks me out since I had no lumps before.

I was just patting my incision dry after washing my face and noticed that at the very left of my incision there is a hard(ish) bump. It's a bit sore, maybe tender is a better word. Any ideas on what this could be???

( So yes, I have both an incision on the belly button and a horizontal bikini laparotomy incision. This surgery is the hardest thing I have ever done since it left me feeling helpless, scared and paranoid. Helpless that I couldn't care for my 6 yo daughter right now.

I had a TT a week ago and developed a large bump about 1/2" above incision site. It is hard, solid feeling like a small rock and sensitive to touch. It stings b/c of the pressure my neck has on it. Ice packs make me comfortable but once ice wears off, then it stings again. It almost looks like a large adam's apple, however, it is not! I'm female and never had this before. My TT was because of a goiter/hashimotos. It is HOT to the touch.

I had acdf surgery on March 4 and I have a hard lump at the incision site. My pcp sent me for an ultrasound to check for an absess but there was none. Does anyone know if this normal?

1 is to detatch the lump via by belly button and then make a bikini line incision to remove the lump. The 2nd is to perform a hysterectomy via an incision to my bikini line and leave my right ovary intact. The recovery time is exactly the same which made me feel a hysterectomy is my best option but now I'm having second thoughts. Can someone advise me?

Had a lateral release (-10 to +80), partial medial meniscectomy and shaved cartilage on my knee 2 weeks ago. Saw physician 1 week after surgery He exasperated swelling at lateral release incision with no luck in reducing the swelling, he said to keep compress on it most of the time.

15 yr old girl. Small lump on inner thigh near groin. Not visible by sight but by touch? Any ideas as to what it iz?

s not all that uncommon for the edges of the incision to feel a bit hard, depending on how skilled the doctor is at stitching. When I had one of my girls spayed the vet was relatively new to the practice and one end of her incision was all puffed up (not swollen, though, just hard and puffed up) and HARD!

Can anyone identify with or share some light on a "stinging" pain on my incision site when I touch the area after an excisional breast biopsy 7 weeks ago? I still have a walnut size lump of fluid or blood and have seen the surgeon about it.. He said that it looked ok and should go away with more time. Before now, I have not had any pain... But today, I woke up with this terrible stinging pain on the incision spot. It only hurts when I touch the spot. Could this be nerve problem?

I had surgery on 30th may, came home the same day, when i got up friday i had really bad heavy bleeding and severe pain, i coped until saturday afternoon and ended up going to hospital, they kept me from saturday to tuesday, blood tests, scans etc done i had a water infection and they said the scan didnt show anything of great significance and their not too concerned, i had tablets for the bleeding and infection and the bleeding subsided to light spotting through wednesday and thursday but i got

This procedure heal up like all of my friends that had vasectomies before me had advised it would be, simple and painless for the most art. a month later, scar sit is healed, lump is gone and all feels much better and no longer sensitive.

She got fixed a couple of months ago and she developed a lump where they did surgey but the vet said not to worry about it. Im just worried about her. So if anybody has any advice let me know.
