Im now on week 3 after TAH, week 1 & 2 were good, very little pain...but now? Bloody hell...scar tissue pain is dreadful.
Has anyone else had this? How long does this pain last for? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers! Abfab x Posted on 06/21/09, 07:06 am |

I totally understand. Unfortunately, until the scabs under the scar tissue dissolves, it's gonna hurt. The itching part will practically drive you nuts. I have no idea why it itches when you heal. My hysterectomy was in 2008, as of June 27th, it will be one year. The scar I can take, but when this thing itches, OMG! For pain I take Vicodin ES and Valium on a set schedule to reduce the increase and decrease of medication in my system (also to prevent addiction or overdosing).
A very gentle rub down with pure coco butter and shea butter lotions can bring some soothing relief. The pain from the scab beneath the scar will start to decrease after a few months when the body begins to reabsorb it.

Cheers for your response Hananoaoi. My actual op scar, so far, is ok and healing well, the pain I have is to the left of my scar and seems to me to be internal healing?
