Pain after 3 and a half weeks

Hi! Er defiantly an option but I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this. I'm waiting for a call back from my doc. I'm post op 3 and a half weeks and for the past 3 days I have pain in my main incision site. When I sit, get up, move or walk a certain way it feels like something is pulling. I assume its because I had major surgery in that area and is healing but I feel like it was better and now more noticeable. Everything so far was pretty Uneventful and I've been following doctor's orders. My one month is this Fri but I may just get checked now to be safe. Any similar experiences please let me know!! Thx in advance

I had the exact pain on my right side 3 weeks out. It lasted almost exactly a week. I was told by my doctor is was the muscles & nerves healing.

Thank you that makes perfectly good sense. I'm glad I'm not alone!

I know how you feel. I was a nervous wreck. I could barely stand up straight. Hope it goes away quickly for you :)

Thank you! Yeah it's strange that I felt almost all better then wham! Pain all over. Only certain movements though. Well thanks again!

yeah totally normal, i had the same thing at 3 weeks out. My doc said that it can also be because of bending to much, basically just irritating the area. I still get pain there to a much lesser degree if i do a lot of bending over.
