Is dull pain around the pellet insertion area normal?

[Paige0000]

Hi girls I have just a quick inquiry. I just had 3 pellets inserted 5 days ago and a day later and up to today I've felt dull pain when I put pressure on the skin around the area but not the actual area itself which is painless. Now I can't remember if this was the case during my first insertion so I was just curious if this was normal or not?

You have to remember you have a foreign item injected into your body.  Your body is reacting to them.  It may be sore for a while.  It should pass.

If not contact your doctor.

Yeah i get the same Paige, i guess it's bruising from when the doctor presses down and folds the pellets under the fat.

Well it was for me, don't know how your doc did it but mine made a very tiny incision (with a local anaesthetic), popped the pellet in and used two tiny stitches to close it up. Didn't hurt all that much when the local wore off but it was mighty uncomfortable for a couple of days. The area had a small bruise for at least two weeks.

But just be careful, it shouldn't be the case but if it really hurts and becomes red and inflamed you might have an infection. If not, all is cool!
