A member asked:
My incision is still sore and it's my 13th day after surgery, is that normal?

Yes: Incisional "soreness" is normal for a few weeks following a procedure, but it depends upon the size of incision and the location, ie. Laparoscopic vs open, chest procedure vs abdominal vs skin vs orthopedic. Extreme soreness, drainage, and particularly increasing pain may mean a problem, though.
