Hi everyone, today is day 7 and I was just wondering how long did the incision pain last for most of you?
All replies will be appreciated!

I had 6 incisions .. 5 of them were tender for about a week and now 4 weeks out they're fine and not sore to the touch .. 1 of my incisions is still kind of tender when I push down on it and/or when I lay on my side, but it's not painful .. just a little tender is all.

I had 6 of them - just two (the largest ones) remained tender about two weeks and one stayed a little read and ***** into the third week - but then they were all fine.

By one week I was ok, by two and the incision pain was gone for the most part. I had one large one (about 1" long) right above my belly button that would burn if I bent over and stretched it too much.. that lasted for about 6-8 weeks.. and it was just a burning feeling when bending- not a big "ouch", just a "hmm.. maybe I shouldn't do that again for a bit."

 I never had pain in my incisions it was more of a discomfort ( I had 4 small ones and  one1 inch one) When I would bend over or sit up (from chair) it would be a pulling sensation. I am 2 weeks out and it doesn't pull as much now and I finally can sleep on my side =) I did start exercising (just walking) and it has now caused my incisions to be painful again. I talked with my surgeons office and they said it is the tension of the internal sutures pulling and is normal.
