Tender and painful incision please help

I am 8 days post op and I had pain in the side incision where they took the stomach out from but that's better today. But my lower middle incision which wasn't hurting at all since the past five days is now v tender. Like it hurts if touched even a little but and not the complete incision just the left side of it.

Did anyone experience this?

Tenderness is usually pretty normal, but I think that since it seems to be getting worse rather than better, you should have it checked out by a medical professional. Either your surgeon or your primary care physician should be able to help you.

Is it hard when you touch it? warm or hot?

I got an infection in one of my incisions and it was a week out before we knew it. It was very painful and tender and it was hard (almost like knotted scar tissue). It burst (luckily out rather then in), I had to do 3 weeks of antibiotics, and my husband had to pack and dress the incision. All turned out well.

Please have it checked. My only real symptom was pain and it could have been way worse if I did not go to the MD. Better to have it check and it be nothing, then to let it go and it turn bad.
