Two weeks post op, large incision is burning

I have had no issues since having surgery two weeks ago. Today I woke up with a burning sensation at my large incision. No other issues but it hurts to move today. I called my surgeons office (got voicemail) any suggestions? Advice?

Is it strictly on the surface? How does the scar look? Inflamed or something? Does the skin around it feel a little numb or tingling to the touch? Maybe a slight burning sensation?

It's most likely just peripheral nerves healing. However, it's not lege artis to come to a diagnosis via internet so calling the office was of course the right thing to do.

Its common to get an incision hernia (20% ish do) also if it puffs up could be a keloid. Contact doctor.. and don’t come to stranger on internet first. First call doctor ?‍⚕️
