[|Human|] hello, I had an abdominal myomectomy about 3 weeks ago, the incision seems to have healed but I still pains from time to time. Is this normal? also the muscle along the incision seem to  be hard. is this normal and should I expect that area to go back to normal? thanks
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. The muscle around a fresh scan can be hard as well as the pains from time to time is NOT normal. As this is already 3 weeks post -op. I would advise getting a review from the operating surgeon. Get checked for any possibility of an infection; Take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen with Sanitizing and see the results. You can apply a combination of honey and Vaseline as a light massage over the scar, it soothes a lot. Do not worry if there is no swelling, redness or fever or any other signs and symptoms.
