Post op- tender skin. is it normal???

[amby3000]

hello, im amber. i had my scoliosis operation about 2 and a half weeks ago now, and i think im getting on ok... exept for a few things.
my skin around my ribs and diaphram seems to be really tender. if anyone touches it or my top rubs against it i can feel it and it kind of hurts.
Also sometimes when i move my back i get a sharp pain on the skin, as if there is a cut there, but there isn't. Im really worried that this is not normal after the operation and im really hoping that somebody could shed some light on it for me.
any replies would be really helpful! thanks

Hi
I still have areas of my back that are sensitive and tender, so I think it's completely normal.

i also think its normal. im 25 days post op and i sometimes get random sharp pains on the skin. near my shoulder blades. so if its out of the ordinary..that makes two of us.

i had a certain spot on my ribs that was really sensitive for some reason and i would get sharp pains i asked my doctor and he said it was probably a nerve
