Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
4356842 tn?1353312209 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.
438877 tn?1224357489 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
Avatar f tn Today is my 8th day post laparotomy for removal of right ovarian chocolate cyst (9cm) and fulguration (burning with electrode) of stage 4 endometriosis. They tried to do the procedure through the laparoscope first but had to open me up since surgeon deemed she can preserved the ovary that way due to the size of the cyst.
1024143 tn?1325462221 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!
Avatar n tn My concern is having an outbreak at the planned incision site, which is where I typically have outbreaks (rather than in the genital area).
Avatar m tn there and I could feel a tube and feel the tube holding at the incision site when trying to lift the skin around it. After a lot of hassle trying to get someone to look at it immediately, and talking to the attending nurse- who stated strongly "there's no way it could have adhered already and he (the Dr.) didn't sew it in, I watched him close it up...", I finally got in to see my doctor 5 days later.
Avatar m tn All of the pathology came back negative. However, at the inguinal site, a large lump or hematoma has arisen. It is the size of a large olive under the incision site. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said it "should" subside. He suggested heat compress. I did that last night and it seems the lump has almost enlarged. How long does it take for this type of swelling to subside? The lump is very uncomfortable. Should it be "drained"? When is this considered a problem?
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn I am two weeks post op- and doing well! I feel better than I have felt in a year! The majority of my symptoms are gone! I have one question though. Is there anyone that has had the surgery that developed a lump on the incision site? It's a pretty massive lump- so much so that when people come to visit- they look at my head and say, Whoa what is that lump??? Seriously- it looks like a growth! I went Monday and had the staples removed and asked the nurse about the lump.
Avatar f tn A lump at the site of the cath insertion may require treatment. It could be a hematoma, and that is collection of blood clots and other substances that could break away and get in the blood stream causing serious complications from blockage of a vessel. Also, it could be a site of infection. Your dad should arrange a followup for the stent implant procedure to avoid any serious complications. Thanks for sharing, and if you have any followup questions you are welcome to respond.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn At the 6 week checkup my NS gave ok for pt which I am scheduled to start on 1/8. Then, last Thursday I noticed swelling at the lower end end of the incision site, felt like the top of a ping pong ball. sometimes it's firm and other times squishy. II spoke with ns assistant after sending him pics and I will call back tomorrow to see if I can see ns on Thursday. could this be a leak? I has anyone had experience with this?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed 7 days ago. Now every time I straighten my back even a little, or if I press on the site, I have this sharp, stabbing pain in the incision below my ribs. Also, I feel this little lump right above the same incision site. The only thing that's stopping the pain is if I stay very still and I'm hunched over which is causing my back to hurt a little. Can this wait until tomorrow or should I go to the ER? What should I do?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn There is a lump underneath my skin on my neck to the right. This is not that close to my incision site. It is about an inch away from my incision site. It does not stick out...it is under the skin. It was the size of a pea, but I swear it has gotten a tiny bit bitter...maybe not, just might seem that way. I was at the doctor the other day too (my primary doctor) but I never said anything to him...I mean I thought there was something there but I just was too busy talking about other stuff.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn unfortunately i dint get the appointment today . M scared to death .. Its not the incision site rather the place where lump was earlier that has become very stiff. I hope the tumor has not grown back :( . Have got the appointment for day after tomorrow .
1748949 tn?1318287437 i did my wk 14 shot last night and as i was injecting the fon rang and it startled me and i guess i pulled the needle out just a bit and it was going UNDER my skin and so i stopped and reinjected the remander or the shot but I had a lump at thefirst injection site and i was wondering if even after rubbing the site if the medicatin will do what its suppose to since i messed up a bit. VERY concerned. I want this treatment to work and hope it will be ok.
Avatar m tn I had this happen where 1 of my incisions looked as though, well it actually was a little infected, probably the same incision site as you are referring. Mine actually had small amount of pus oozing as well. My recheck was a week or so after noticing a irritation, So around 4 to 4 & half wks Post. The Surgeon said it was probably the suture trying to work itself out. I had already started using Alcohol, Peroxide, Neosporin, and recovering with a bandage.
669230 tn?1252149194 I had my biopsy thursday morning and finally worked up the nerve to shower and feel around the incision/biopsy site saturday night. It's still tender like a bad bruise, but the lump got really big. It was kidney bean sized and now it's large walnut sized. Could that be a hematoma, or would a hematoma hurt or throb? Or is there normally swelling associated with a biopsy like that? It was an ultrasound guided HUGE needle biopsy using Mammotome if that helps.
506043 tn?1222294696 My neck and shoulders are achy, it feels like there is a lump in my throat when I swallow and I am swollen and tight where my incision site was. Is this all normal? When will I start feeling better? Any recommendations for the symptoms? I am breastfeeding (pumping right now) so I don't want to take anymore percocet... Help!
