discomfort after battery change

Hi Guys
I have had my PM exchanged for new battery two months ago and still feel some discomfort at the incision, which has healed but is still visible. The discomfort is like a soft burning sensation when lift my left arm, or the underwear touches the area. I am still reluctant to return to my regular morning gymnastics. Should I star this now regular again and ignore the discomfort or could this reopen the incisiom site?
Thanks
Dave

I would expect it to still be visible after only 2 months.Are you putting anything on it? I used medical grade vitamin e, that kept it from getting itchy/burny and also helped it blend in faster. I wouldn't be worried about opening it again. Try a light version and see how you feel but you should be able to do anything you want by now.

Keep an eye out for new redness or swelling, streaks, oozing, fever, hot red spots. Those are signs of clots or infection.
