Thanks everyone... I'm fine. I'm pretty sure it's not a permanent thing because I remember having the same pulling thing last time and it eventually dissipating, just can't remember how long it took. I have know idea what type was used. I had staples on the exterior which were removed when I left hospital. These are the internal ones and I get a stinging pulling sensation if I take too bigger step or when I'm trying to get in and out of the car. Funnily enough, I'm getting it in exactly the same spot as I did last time too...
