Sudden Post Surgery Pain

I am about 2.5 weeks post vertical sleeve. I was doing fine a couple of days ago and then after some light housework I have sharp pain near my belly button. I thought it was my incision hurting but now I'm thinking the pain is deeper. What could be causing this? The nurse checked my incision and said it was fine yesterday but at that point I thought it was just surface pain. How concerned should I be?

It could very well be incision pain and it can be pretty deep depending on how thick you are. If you are concerned it could be something more then don't hesitate to call your DR. I myself can't tell you anything without an exam. @@Desi1977

Thank you. Is there anything that can be done to help it? Tylenol is just not kicking it. I've even wrapped some Spanx around my middle but it still hurts like it did right after surgery.

A week after my surgery I was feeling better and started doing a little more. Got a horrible sharp pain just below my belly button extending to the right side. Turns out I tore a muscle by moving a bit too much. Bed rest for a couple days made a big difference!
