Has anyone had pain and tingling in their original scar after 16 years?!? My scar and surrounding skin have been numb since surgery, but about a month ago I noticed a tingling sensation. The tingling turned to pins and needles, then a dull ache, and now sharp pains. The MD today said he thinks it’s a tumor growing and scheduled a bunch of labs and tests! I’m so nervous. I have 2 small boys and I’m not ready for this again.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
It sounds like you are currently having a very worrying time and I can totally understand why you don't want to go through this all again. Do you have a date yet for your tests and what is proposed?
It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi
Thanks very much for completing your profile but I'm sorry to read that your insurer is refusing to pay for the scans. This must make a stressful time even worse 
Could you go back into the NHS system?
