Hello all , Had emergency surgery for a perforated duodenal ulcer two years ago. From time to time I experience a pretty intense burning sensation at the site of the surgery( ulcer repair). The ulcer has healed but still with the burning. Has anyone had this sensation?

I also had an emergency op for a Duodenal Ulcer.
But this did not eliminate the underlaying cause of the Ulcer - h pylori.
It was only when I was given the anti hpylori regime - after the operation - that my pain subsided.
You do not say what h.pylori treatment you have received.
Regards Rick

Hi Rick
I took antibiotics post op. Can't recall the name. Dr. figured the perforation occured because I was taking NSAIDS that whole day for an unrelated issue. I did have an Hpylori breath test about 9 months after surgery and it was negative.
