[|Human|] I had a spinal fusion surgery about 3 weeks ago.  I have been doing extremely well.  However yesterday I just noticed to the right of the top of my incision feels like there is a lump under the skin.  Not really physically noticeable but you can feel it when you touch it.  It is not extremely painful just feels a little sore.   Should I be worried?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. First, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious problem. There could be small swelling at the site of incision, due to old blood/healing tissues. If you develop fever or if the area becomes tender, you should get it checked by the Neurosurgeon to exclude a local infection. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
