weird question about "feeling" the weather changes
« on: June 10, 2012, 07:52:36 pm »
OK-I gotta ask it!  Does anyone "feel"  more sore at your surgery scar area with extreme changes in the weather?   I swear when there is an abrupt weather change about to happen, I feel like my incision scar is a bit more sore.  I am post op 12 weeks.  Anyone -or I'm I just grasping?!  ;D

Your scar tissue very likely does react to changes in the weather. Similar to people with arthritis that becomes more or less painful with changes in the weather.

Here's an article about the Influence of Weather on Report of Pain from the International Association for the Study of Pain.

There are references at the end of the article in case you want to do further research.

Oh yeah, you'll feel every millibar that goes up and down. Just do a search on the board and you'll find numerous discussions about this.  I am 2.5 years post op and still get wonky headed when the weather changes.  I am sure the feeling will ease up on the scar as it heals, but don't be surprised if you continue to feel it on the head as well for  a while longer!
