let your body heal, don't do any exercise until your doctor gives you the okay.  If you work out and rip a suture you can put yourself in a world of pain and trouble.  Open wounds get infected real fast, they can lead to infection and depending on what was operated on you could permanently damage muscle.

it will eventually fill up with scar tissue, just stick to the same doctors who did the procedure, they may ask you to follow with a wound specialist nurse too, good luck

Any resistence you can provide will decrease the damage.  Your muscles tear and heal naturally and fast.  Your other organs react by scabbing over.  It is known that the worst thing the body does to itself is become inflamed.\n\nYeah - don't get stabbed, okay?

Am not a medical personel, but my mom is. From what I know,\nthe surface of the wound is healed, but there is incomplet healing\ninternaly. Itching is a sign of incomplete healing.\n\nI would also say that you stop scratching it too hard so as to\navoid agravating the wound. Is there a thick hard scar? If there\nis, then I sugest you have it cut and treated by a specialist.\n\nHope my answer will be helpful to you. Goodluck.

I've heard it hurts a lot.  But a scar shouldn't make a difference.  Actually, if anything, it might be less painful.  Sometimes scar tissue loses sensitivity, but as far as I know, once a scar is healed, it does not gain sensitivity.

My honest opinion for you is that it is going to suck for a bit.  You will have discomfort at first usually well controlled with pain medications.  You will also have to be wired shut for a few weeks (usually for about 6 weeks) where you will have to consume mostly a liquid diet.  Afterward, your muscles will be sore and tight. BUT, I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END!!!!!  I have seen and been part of a few of these cases and actually had a friend who had it done about a year ago and everyone that I have asked, would do it again in a heartbeat!  Hope that this proves helpful, good luck with it!

First you should see a doctor or chiropractor to determine if there is a serious problem. If you just have moderate low back pain with no obvious injury, there are a few things you can do. Alternate heat and ice 5-10 minutes each every 1/2 hour. There are stretches you can do to strengthen your back and ease the pain. It is very important to do some type of stretching or exercises. If you don't, things will get worse as you loose muscle tone! Good luck! It may seem like it will never get better..just give it some time and it will if you take the time to do what you need to do heal yourself!

I had a boyfriend with back problems - you really can hurt yourself if you do it the wrong way. \n\nAsk your doctor or look on the internet for suggested positions.

Fibrosis stands for scar tissue.

uuuuuhhhhhh, NO!  Bodily Fliuds, that's the key term to remember. Now unless you have a sliced up back and the person giving the massage has cut up hands and AIDS, i think you'll be alright

When you exercise muscles hard you tear down tissue.  Your body needs more than 24 hours for that to heal back.  If you skip a day between workouts you will see faster results.

You could try Vitamin E oil... Whats more important than trying to make it look better, is to look at it as a reminder of how lucky you are to be able to worry about something as trivial (although it doesnt seem trivial) as a scar:-) Good luck!

It depends.  Commonly it resolves on its own in 6-8 weeks if you don't injure it again.  Heat pads, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and stretching exercises can be used to partially relieve symptoms.  Many people find massage to be soothing during this healing period.  Because of the time sequence, many people mistakenly assume that one of these treatments actually cured their back pain.  It is also important to examine your postures and activities for any that may be causing you to irritate your back.  Some overweight people find that losing weight decreases the frequency of their back problems.\n\n***** HOWEVER keep in mind that a small number of cases are caused by very serious conditions ranging from herniations to tumors and metabolic diseases which can severly weaken the bone and injure nerves.  It is very important that these conditions be excluded before any manipulative forces are applied to your back.  Otherwise you risk serious nerve or spinal cord injury.

i don't know a lot about working out but i do know you should try to work all muscles including the opposite of what you want to work such as you want a six pack be sure to work your back too if you don't it could throw you off creating a sore back it all takes time but you will be happy in the long run

Hernias are when muscle tears & things go where they shouldn't be. You do need to see a Doctor, I'm afraid. You may need surgery. They'll fix the tear, or put something in to hold your organs where they belong. That is a very routine surgery, so you don't need to worry about that.\nBut, yes; you do need to see a Doctor. Untreated, it can get much worse.
