I am exactly 1 week out and having the weirdest tearing burning pain in one spot in my abdomen, when I lay down I am pain free but sitting it hurts so bad I can’t deal with it this pain isn’t even where an incision is!!! It feels like a can feel it tear and pop, I can’t bend over or twist at my waist!!! Also I think I may be having an allergic reaction to the tape!!! Please help me!!! Is there internal stitches I could have ripped?? Pic of the tape reaction but where the pain is there is nothing but even the skin is sensitive to the touch

Yikes, my incisions did not look that red around them....you should call your doctor. I did experience similar stuff though only a week out...felt this like burning and pulling pain, could barely sit up and down and laying down and getting up was terrible...it felt like I was pulling stitches too. Just take it easy and be as gentle as possible when moving but you should reach out to your surgeon's office and ask if that redness around the incision site is normal...I had glue not stitches on the outside and it just looked like tiny scabs where the incisions were...

Hon, that red is not good. Don't be afraid to ask the doctor. Send them a picture of this and description of pain.

No, that red is not normal. Give a call to your surgeon. Mark the edges of the redness now with a pen or permanent marker so you can tell if it continues to spread. It could be an allergy to the tape, but I'm going out on a limb and say it might be cellulitis (an infection in the fat right under the skin).

I don't think you need to go to the ER (unless it gets rapidly worse or you develop a fever over 101f ), but do try and see your doctor tomorrow.
