Numbness After Surgery - 2 Months Post Surgery Does Feeling Come Back?

[Guest guest]

I've tried searching the posts here for " numb " and " numbness " and

didn't get anything back. So, for those of you that are 2 months or

more past surgery, do you still have numbness? I had an abdo myo Oct

21 (8 cm fibroid, bikini cut) and it is still numb *above* the

incision line to just below my belly button, and the area that is numb

is about the full size of my hand. Is this normal? Does the feeling

ever come back?

I've talked to friends that have had surgery and C-sections. Some say

it takes about 6 months to see if the feeling will come back. Others

say there is always a numb spot.

I never had any itchiness around the incision area because it has

continued to be numb. I guess itchiness is a good sign that the

nerves are working right.

Anyway, for those of you contemplating surgery, I would have to say

that I would take some numbness over the flooding/clotting/hourly

trips to the bathroom/pressure on bladder any day! Also, notice I said

the numbness was *above* the incision line. Thankfully, everything is

functioning fine and no numbness *below* the incision line.

So, anyone here that has had a bikini cut myo and it has been 2 months

or more after surgery, please respond with your experiences as to

numbness, etc. Thanks!

Hi-

I had my abdominal myo with a bikini cut on Oct. 2, almost 3 months ago, and I

still have some numbness above my incision and almost up to my belly button. I

have more sensation than I did right after the surgery, but the numbness is

still there.

Like you, though, I woudl gladly take the numbness over what I went through with

the fibroids I had!!!

After a few months the feeling will come back.............I think it was about

three to four months before I had feelings.

I had my myo in September. I didn't really notice any numbness.

Yes, i experienced some numbness as well..

Its about 3 months post myo for me..now it seems my numbness has left..it will

take anywhere from 4-6 months for numbness to be gone as per my Dr, for some

women it can take years..
