Default Problems Wearing Shirts

Years post surgery, I have no problem wearing shirts that I have always worn.

However, when I try to wear a new shirt made of the same fabric and from the same company as my old shirts, I get a sensation that I can feel the shirt touching my tender nerves around my surgery site. It gets worse the longer I wear it and it starts making my entire surgery side from shoulders to my pinky finger and to my foot feel very irritated.

It all goes away once I ditch the new shirt.

I've tried wearing it just for a little bit but the result is equally bad.

I am safe guarding my clothes and am prepared to mend, sew, fix them forever. Is there anything else to try?

I'm thinking of wearing a giant tank top. I've also thought of just bandaging the entire area under my shirt because I feel like it's the rubbing when I move against the fabric.

It doesn't hurt, thank goodness. But over time, it irritates it badly.

Thank you for any insight! TOS always throws me something new!

Default shirt surgery

11 years after my thyroid surgery I started not being able to wear crew necks and turtlenecks. For new clothes I buy v-necks. For old clothes I either convert them into a new shirt as a sewing project or take a pair of scissors and convert it quickly. Most of my old shirts and sweaters just went to the Goodwill. But for yours, perhaps just washing them a few dozen times would work? Or sewing soft flannel on the problem area? My father had this problem with his shoes and he did shoe surgery.
