Does anyone's c/s scar itch when they're under the weather?

Ive started getting a burning throat tonight after a couple of weeks of sinusitis and my c/s scar is really unbearably itchy. Looking back this has happened before. Does it happen to anyone else?

not got a cs scar but my appendix scar still itches occasionaly and it was done in 1976!

Not itchy but gets very uncomfortable, and sometimes feels quite painful.

Mine itches when I'm under the weather too, although I've always had trouble with bits of me itching when I'm ill - until I had my c/s it was always just the front of my throat and under my chin that itched when I was poorly.

Funny you should mention it, I was just moaning to DP about it. Mine has been driving me mental for weeks. Co-incidentally, I have had about 5 hours sleep since last Thursday. Might have something to do with it?

No itching, but then I am 4 yrs down the line.So there is hope for you all.

Infact, still no feeling atall!!

moozoboozo · 23/09/2005 02:23

Yes, that weird numb feeling. Ew

myturn · 23/09/2005 02:27

I guess it will never go. It makes me feel quite sick though. Can't stand to touch 'that' spot eeuurrghh.

moozoboozo · 23/09/2005 02:30

I know, it's horrid. you can feel your fingers touching it, but on the other hand, you can't feel your fingers touching it. It's weird, alright.

myturn · 23/09/2005 02:32

couldn't have put it better myself!!! Only know that spot is there because of the excess flap of flesh hanging over it.

Grooosss.

And I am fairly in-shape, but the flap is still there!

Yes, I have THE APRON too. I reckon no amount of exercise will get rid of that puppy. That's the curse of a c s though.
