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.
