6 weeks post op...scar very tender in a couple of places

Just wondering if it is normal to have the scar so tender to touch.  Even clothing can bother it.  I feel like there is a bumpy area near the  top of the scar.  Could that be the lead?  I am just feeling insecure about the pain.

I was in  about 5 days ago to have a spitting stitch dug out of the bottom end of the scar and now that finally is looking better.

I think part of why I am concerned is that the scar from where my SICD was removed (same day as defib/PM was put in) looks so much better and isn't anywhere near as sore.

would appreciate any comments

Sometimes they are more sensitive than others, but if you've already had a stitch problem, get someone to take a quick look at it.

I had my PM 1year and a half ago and my scar still itches and gets pinch here and there.
