Hi and welcome,

I don't think you should still be leaking from your incision this far out. Does it have an odor? Does it look a little red? Do you have a fever?

I had some leaking, very tiny amount of like 2 drops in the span of 12 hours at 1 week post op and my surgeon quickly put me on antibiotics because even though it wasn't infected yet, it would most likely turn into one and it was easier to treat sooner rather than later.

Monday is a long way off if we're talking about the difference between an infected incision or not. Especially if you're not feeling well. I understand not wanting to go to the hospital on the weekend. Keep it clean and dry until you go on Monday and please, if it gets any worse before then don't wait.

I'm now 2 weeks out and still having pain but it's not burning anymore, it's pressure, some tingling and numbness. I do believe some pain is still to be expected at your stage, certainly if it's leaking.

My incision is red in couple spots no odor but the fluid at incision site is yellow in color no burning but i have sharp pains where the open place is i wash it 3 times a day with dial soap and i recently started putting antibiotic ointment on it hoping that helps til monday only other symptom sleeping alot feeling sore and achy in my muscles
