To me, the answers about numbness and skin irritation from your surgeon just do not sound right. Also, they shoudl be concerned with the white to blue color changes. You should expect pain, and you do need to take it easy, but you should not be in serious pain every day while you are basically at rest- your medication should address that so that you can be comfortable when you are not active.

I went through these very symptoms after my surgery to the letter. They did have to put me on Neurontin and Avinza a stronger pain medicine and diagnosed me as having RSD after the surgery. He said it happens in some cases and could go away or stay. My pain and numbness took just about 2yrs to go away. Just thought I would share this as hope for you Momz. I was there and know what your going through.
