This is my biggest fear. The way my belly looks now it WILL be a problem for years to come. Only 9 mo ago I felt good about my belly - I was proud to show off my well earned abs in a bikini. (and that was with a bikini cut c-section scar that was fairly well healed) Now, these things out of my control have twisted and pulled by belly is ways that I can't imagine them healing. My c-section was 5" or so long and never looked so terribly ugly as my belly button does now. Only 2 1/2 weeks ago I had a laparoscopic tubal ligation and the incisions had already healed such that I felt good about them. Then there's this.
I have arnica gel and used it on my broken foot earlier this year. It helps with bruising so very well. I had forgotten about it though. Thanks for the reminder.
It has been an exceptionally rough year for me. Incisional Hernia surgery in Jan, broken foot in March, Underactive thyroid (causing 25 lbs of weight gain before we got a handle on it), Tubal Ligation 2 1/2 weeks ago, Inguinal AND Umbilical Hernia surgery 5 days ago. I sure hope the medical problems are over for a while at least.
Thanks for the comments so far.
