Hi Pez2

I wanted to say hi and ask Katz51 for advice as she has had similar to you. 

Hi I had disolvable stitches.

Sitting isnt easy but whatever you do dont use a donut cushion.it pulls the stitches apart.I was lent a blow up cushion from the redcross via the district nurse,who had come to see how it was healing.

It is uncomfortable but does get easier.although 2 1/2 yrs on I still have some numbness in the area.The surgeon explained that stitching nerves together doesnt always work perfectly.

Do ask anything else and all the best

Ps.if you click on katz51 you can read my bio and see how I got on.

Thanks for that. I have no bother walking from day 1 but I cannot sit, don’t know if it’s cos I have quite a large fluid gathered there which the nurse this morning said very red but no infection. I try to exercise by putting radio on and dancing to music every 1.30hrs roughly 

Yes walking was no bother.its the sitting thats the problem.you are doing the right thing by keeping moving.
