Pain between incisions?

Hey everyone :) So I am three weeks out today. For the last two weeks I had very minimal pain and then none what-so-ever. But yesterday the area between my incisions kept twinging a little bit. Not really painful but enough to say "hey i'm here". Today at work (i'm on my feet all day) it was just about constant and at times a bit sharp. It goes away for the most part if I put some pressure on it. It isn't horrible, just uncomfortable.

Any ideas as to what this is?

Thanks!

I know the main incision was a bit knotted for 5 weeks or so but not really painful versus annoying. If pain is consistent you should consult your doctor.

I'm 3 weeks out and have had the same thing. If I applied pressure to the area it would go away. My pain was right in the middle...closest to my belly button on the right. I had some scar tissue and that was the area that it was removed from.

I saw the surgeon, he said it was scar tissue around the internal stitch and that I probably did something that bruised it. So for now I just deal with it (though he gave me the okay to take advil) and then if it gets any worse or continues for more than a week I need to go in again. But at least it isn't anything serious. It does hurt a lot, even worse then when I first got out of the hospital (it is different, more sharp and it burns :/ ).

Thanks for all the help everyone :)
