Sweating was also my main concern. Even my equine surgeon colleagues were concerned about sweating and potential infection & scarring when I admitted my plan to run immediately after surgery... Although, they did say I'm probably much more clean than their 4-legged patients and might be ok. ;) So, I specifically asked my surgeon about risks of the incision being wet and if we could use a breathable dressing, like covaderm, instead of tegaderm. But, he said it would be fine if the incision and dressing was sweaty. I'm not sure, however, if he realized how much I intended to run. The tegaderm+gauze dressing was to come off 3 days post-op, and when I took it off after my long run on Sat, I could wring the sweat out of the gauze. A slight "ewww" factor. My incision site doesn't look as smooth this time -- whether that is related to the sweating or not, I do not know.
So far, I still have soreness from the incision and some bone pain -- similar to the ache that I had about 6-8 wks post-op from the first surgery. The surgeon said that they would smooth the bone, as there would be some bone spurs around the screw holes. That, combined with the now empty screw holes that need to fill in, I'm not surprised that I have some bone pain. The numbness is pretty much the same, but I did not get the hyper-sensitivity that I had for one month after the first surgery. I don't think the numbness will ever change because those nerves were severed in the first surgery.
The difference, so far, is that I don't notice the pressure sensitivity that I had with the plate. That being said, the incision site is sore, and this makes distinguishing the previous plate pain vs incision pain hard. Shrugging my shoulders or raising my arm above my head causes some pain. I still have to run with a pad (i.e., a thick mitten) under my sports bra strap like I've done since the first surgery, and I suspect I'll have to do for a few wks yet. I think all of this will improve in the next few wks as the area heals.
