I'm having a burning pain along the skin where th drain was

located. I'm 8 days post-op lap RNY. I had staples and drain removed 6 days post-op. Yesterday, I noticed that every time I movd, I had the burning/pulling pain along the path of where te srain was located. I've had to take more pain medications as well, but this pain is not relieved by the meds. Any ideas? Infection? just healing? I'm waiting for Dr. to open to give him a call.
