Ok so I'm still in a lot of pain, I'm having to hold my left side when I walk stand and sit just to give it some support. ...Always have. It's red, not that much redder than the others but a tad. It's sore inside the incision...not the skin , And it hot to touch. But I have no fever...should I go to my er?

Certainly worth a call to your doctor. We had a nurse triage line for just that type of thing.

It is always better to be safe and call your Dr.   My incisions were a little red and had some pus but I am one of the people *****ject the internal stitches so mine are working their way out.  

I called my Dr. to make sure everything was ok and he said as long as not hot or swollen or has pus all the way across it I would be fine.  (I am not a dr so this is only my experience)

 

Please call your dr and i hope you feel better
