Hello Angel, I had mine the day before you and get all sorts of twinges and twitches all around my tum.. particularly on the left hand side...

It could be healing... but if in doubt ring the hospital and discuss with someone to ease your mind Angel.

Love and hugs xxx

ah thanks bev, r u getting on ok with yours, i just had my staples out yesterday but the big one opened a little so went back n had some sterri strips put on, other than that n the burning im managing well x

id get it checked out then hun as the burning could be the start of an infection. the numbness is normal at they will have cut some nerves which will recover in time.
