General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. This may be due to the local reaction to the ointments/ dressings done after the surgery, making you feel sore and feeling of knots. This is the most usual reason. You may please tell this to your dresser / nurse or treating doctor. Have dry dressings and take a few medicines as advised . This may go away. Wishing you early recovery.
