post gyno op, weird observation

[elitetoxin]

had gyno op, almost 4 weeks ago.
Its going pretty well, besides the fact the i cant stretch my left arm straight up without some pain. The weird part is the _location_ of the pain, wich is somewhere on the lower left ribcage, some 15-20cm's from the nipple?
Allright, i thought i'd just give it some more time, allthough a bit weird.. then i tested it again today, and while i can extent a bit more, the pain still comes back.
Now to the very weird part, i took my right hand to rub the area on the ribs, to find out that something was sticking out!! a long straight line, like a string that was being extended under the skin, with direction straight up to the nip area and down till below the ribcage area.

Now what the fuck is that ? did the doc 'forget' something inthere? I have a hard time imagining this could be normal!! will be calling him first thing monday of course!!
In the meantime ... i dont suppose anyone else have experienced anything similiar ??

thats fucking bizzare. i would call today and have him unfuck that most ricky tick.

you would be experience your normal pains associated with the gyno - they can be anywhere in the chest region, but i have no clue what the string thingy is..you did have it removed by a plastic surgeon, right?

I never experienced anything like that with my operation.. Id be curious to hear about what your doc says.. Keep us posted, please!

Sounds like you found a suture,

They are resorbable, so leave it alone; it is holding fascia and muscle together to heal.

lol, yes, by a plastic surgeon ... or atleast i think he is!! (naw, he's good heh

A suture ? To hold fascia and muscle together? .. why would he cut into muscle to remove gyno .. and secondly why would such a suture extend down to solar plexus from the nip area (and how the hell did he get all the way down there from a lil hole in the nip? and third "resorbable", shouldnt it be about 'absorbed' by now ? (could he have used the wrong kinda suture!`?)

If you had liposuction along with excision, it sounds like it might be scar tissue caused by the liposuction cannula.

Im trying to remember when I had mine done, I dont remember him saying i had sutures on the inside, but I could be wrong.. I had like 4 stitches on each nipple(on the outside) and that was it.. I told you I had some pain before, but it was relieved after the blood was withdrawn..

no lipo!
And yea, i still got two sore spots, but thats right behind the nipples (i was a light gyno case, but enough to annoy me!!) .. this thing is not sore at all, just 'emits' a little pain when stretched! just tried to do a few pullups .. they're doable as long as i dont extent my arms totally..
