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

March 9, 2018
Asked By:Anonymous746 in Ottawa, ON

I am one week post op from have BA surgery. My incisions look fine, I have no symptoms of infection. However they are still covered with steri strips. My right incision has been causing tremendous amount of discomfort since day 2 post op. It burns when I move, it feels irritated, I also feel as though it's pulling somehow. I wanted to try to remove the steri strips but decided that may not be the best idea. Is this normal ?
