It sounds like you have an incisional infection. I had one after my lap
in Oct. It still bothers me once in a while. I've been on numerous
antibiotics to no avail. If it fills up again (gets the hard bump) I'm
going to go to my family doctor about it. My gyne said it would
eventually heal on its own but this should of been healed by now. I
just poke it and drain it. Probably shouldn't but it gives me relief.
You're not alone.
