One week post BA surgery experiencing daily incision discomfort. Advice?

The main issue is to make sure you do not have an infection.  Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.   Be sure to speak with you surgeon.

Discomfort at incision sites is not uncommon. It may be the steri strips or dressings, but it’s best to contact your surgeon before doing anything like removing them. I’d suggest booking an appointment with your surgeon to be examined in either case to ensure everything is fine.
