i got 6 incisions on my stomach the very last one is hard all around it is this normal or should be something to go get checked it the one that more painful. i get up out my bed walk or get up out my chair that the one that hurt the most it at far left of my belly button is just muscle healing and is it common to have hard area around the outside you incicsons

Well i know we all say this if something is hurting more then u think normal
perhaps a phone call in to the doctor cant hurt.
IF its looking not right.
I konw my incisions were only held closed with surgical tape and healed very flat and now cant seem them. BUT it was normal that my left side
just overall had more pain and my words were felt like i was hit by a bus
on that side.
I dunno if it helps but one side tends to be more sore, but if ur incisions look swollen inflamed, pussy or something i would for sure have it checked out. I dont know about the hardness i hope you didnt get an incisional hernia....best to have it looked at!

HOPE that helps u some!
hugs

The hardness around your incision sounds as if you may have an infection there. If it is red and hard, then the chances are it is an infection, but even if it isn't that red, if the infection is deeper, then the inflammation (red color of infection) won't show up. Also, does the area feel feverish as well as painful? Fever is another indication of infection.
You need to call your surgeon and ask, since you are still only a week or so out.
