Re: I have a question about the incisions from a laparoscopic surgery.

I had my lap done over four years ago and the larger incision(which was
in my belly button) is still sore. Some days it hurts so bad that I
can't move. The smaller incision which was just above my pubic hair
line didn't hurt much until just a few days ago when it began aching and
now I can feel a small lump underneath it. I haven't been able to touch
the inside of my belly button since my surgery, but I never mentioned it
to my doctor. If you find anything out, let us know!!
