I too had drain tubes and had more of a pinching type feeling especially on the right had side. I do believe that is quite normal and will be fine as soon as the tubes are out. Fortunatley I only had to put up with it for a day and a half. NOw I have no pain at all Good Luck

I had terrible burning, stinging, soreness and redness around my tube until the day it was taken out. It was not a fun experience and I finally got my surgeon to remove it 4 days early because it was so bothersome. Now I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and it's healing nicely.
