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! |

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.
