Regular Member battles Posted September 12, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just wondering if it hurts for anybody else to wear a hat. I try to wear my hat as loose fitting as possible, but after about 5 minutes, my head starts to feel some pretty good discomfort. I'm about 44 days post op, so I thought it would totally be okay to wear a hat without any problems. Any feedback would be welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted September 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 You shouldn't have any problems wearing a hat. It's understandable within the first week if the patient is experiencing swelling that the hat might be tight. Also when you're going through the healing phase within the first two weeks while you have the sutures still in, it could be uncomfortable with a hat on. I'd suggest you talking to your ht physician about the discomfort.

Senior Member SADbutTRUE Posted September 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 just saw you are 44 days post op so sutures are out, sorry missed that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member battles Posted September 12, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah, I lived underneath a bandanna the first couple of weeks. Your input is greatly appreciated, though. Hmmm, I guess it is kind of odd to have discomfort to wear a hat this far out of the procedure. Guess I'll have to talk to my doc...

Senior Member Cant decide Posted September 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 I wore my baseball hat very tight and even at 2 and 3 months post op, after a few hours, I would feel some discomfort. It does not surprise me that you have discomfort at 44 days even wearing it loose.
