### input:
I had a c section 3 months ago. Healthy baby. The incision was closed with staples on the inside that dissolve.  Some of the staples worked themselves out.  This was painful. There are still almost all of the staples still in. They are still whole and very painful.  The outside is completely grown together ( not pretty). The staples are trying to push out.  The do not appear to be dissolving.  I have a constant burning pain in my abdomen.  I am also no heavier but much puffier than after her birth. I wear supportive garments and still have trouble getting up. This is my second setction and third delivery.  This is the hardest recovery. My temperature has maintained at 96 degrees. I had a discharge from from my belly button a few weeks ago and that went away. I sweat often, feel fatigued and occasionally get very physically overwhelmed. The newest symptom is pain around my ribs on my right side.

Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The staples used to suture the wound (surgical wound in your case) are metallic in nature. They do no dissolve and have to be removed few days after adhesion of the wound edges. Pain is usually present postoperatively.painkillers are prescribed in the post-operative period. However, if the pain is constant not relied by common painkillers, there can be a possibility wound infection or wound dehiscence. Wound dehiscence is a condition in which the deeper layers of the wound give way. It is associated with oozing out of blood and serous yellow colored fluid. Burning pain in the abdomen can be due to nerve injury during surgical procedure. Heaviness and puffiness that you are experiencing is due to baby weft that you have gained during pregnancy. Consult your doctor for clinical examination of the wound to look for features of wound infection and/or wound dehiscence. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
