What are the symptoms of an incisional hernia?
For a week or two, I thought I had one, because when I pressed down on my (3 inch, vertical) incision, it felt very hard below the skin, as though I was pressing down on a piece of cord implanted in my abdomen. I wasn't sure whether that counted as a bulge.
Since I've never had a hernia, I wasn't sure what to look for. What should I be checking for?
Thanks, Snoopy
