No, I don't remember those kind of pains after 5 months. I do know that even now if I catch my scar on a door handle or whatever it feels really nasty.

Perhaps you need to mention it to the GP

Hi yes I still get wound pain 6 months on. I have to sit for a while until it subsides. I have a general ache around the wound & occasionally a sharp pain, especially if I have tried to do too much. Apparently this could be due to tissue adhesions ( basically internal scaring) 'letting go'.

Presume these will go with time but I guess it varies from person to person.

We forget that internal healing does take a lot longer than the outside, and because it looks fine we feel we can do whatever we want but no rush hunni and take it easy we been through enough xxx
