Weird soreness on my stomach? Did anyone have this?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
