a week after surgery I ended up with an infected incision site that turned out to be staff infection. At the end of week two once the infection was about cleared up I started having this weird pain on my side between the infected wound and another incision but not directly at an incision point. I thought at first it was maybe just from wearing close again and that they were rubbing my stomach but the pain has continued. It's a weird pain. It's not like an inside pain or a soreness pain. It's feels like my skin is very very sunburned. It hurts to rub my hand across the particular area and when on a bumpy road it hurts to bounce but it's a weird hurt. It's almost like it burns. Has anyone experienced anything like this or do you think I should be worried?

i had an area on my stomach that was like that. i didn't hurt like it was infected - it would just burn. i called my doctor and he told me it was nerves trying to repair themself. i'm 2 mos out and that feeling has been gone for about a month or so....

Is the pain on/in your skin or underneath? What does your skin look like - any redness or peeling? Do you feel any heat or hardness when you touch it?

What did they give you to treat the staph infection?

I took Augmenten for 10 days for the staff infection. It doesn't look red or any different than any of my other skin it just burns gives a burning feeling when I touch it. It doesn't feel hot and it's not peeling or anything. If it didn't feel like a bad sunburn you would know nothing from the look of it. But it even hurts for my clothes to touch it.
