Is it true that scar tissue hurts?
I had surgery about 6 weeks ago to remove a cyst and the incisions feel like fresh paper cuts, so they sting all the time and the ovary operated on hurts like the the cyst is still there. My friends mom who is a retired nurse says to wait half a year to get an ultrasound to check for problems and that scar tissue hurts having in general when my OBGYN says that it sounds serious and that I should get an ultrasound to check for a new cyst growing asap.
Is my friend's mom right and this is a trick to scam me out of a 200 dollar ultrasound or should I take my doctor's advise and get one? It's coming out of pocket and that's a third of my income, so I need to make sure it'd be spent wisely.
My doctor said the incisions are also infected, but since I'm uninsured, I can't get treatment. Maybe that's why they feel like fresh paper cuts, but since they're completely scared over, I can't drain anything, so whatever's there is trapped inside.

Since you've recently undergone a surgical procedure the ONLY person you should be listening to right now is your doctor. If you are having problems post-op it is of utmost importance that you get this checked right away. Leaving an infection in place is a very, very bad idea. At the very least, you have to get treated with antibiotics so it doesn't worsen. The nurse friend does not know what she's talking about and honestly, I wouldn't trust anyone but the person who knows my health history (ie, your doctor). Just get yourself treated asap...Good luck.
