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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
