I have to have an operation its to remove some stitches that were put in my stomach some 4 years ago the stitches are causing pain and the surgeon hopes once removed the pain will go. I have scleroderma and raynauds does anyone know if this will cause any problems with the recovery.
Thank you for any advise x
We recover slowly.
Our immune systems are very low so be very very careful of infection! Oh and make sure the surgeon is aware of the meds you are on and has a good understanding of your conditions, don't be afraid to ask questions. Good luck.
Thank you I will keep you updated 😊
I had major bowel surgery 2 1/2 years ago( almost half of my bowel removed) but I recovered really well considering the nature of the op. I have SSc & Secondary Raynauds. I had too stop taking my methotrexate a few weeks before, they also gave me warmed up blankets while putting in an epidural (I still had a general anaesthetic ) before the op and then again while I was coming round. They did one long stitch under the skin in dissolvable thread to stitch me up & it healed well.
