Post-Op Pain - Burning Sensation

I am 10 days post-op and in the last couple of days have started to notice a burning sensation in my abdomen. Specifically, above and to the left of my navel. There's no incision in the exact location and no bruising, just burning when I make certain movements.

Has anyone else experienced this?

TIA.

I had that too, but I did have an incision there.

I have been having the same issues I am 11 days out. And I don't have incisions there, I am thinking it might be the staples inside.

When I had that same feeling with my gall bladder removal, I was told it was probably a gas bubble caught between layers of muscle tissue in the abdominal wall. It was the worst thing I felt during the whole recovery, and I was sure there was something terribly wrong with me -- but I waited a day or two, and sure enough, it did go away.
