Incisional pain

My husband is 6 weeks post DS. Today he started with a sharp pain at the top of the incision but it only happens when he stands up, sits down, or stretch. Has anyone else experienced this???

I am 4 weeks and have had pain especially when sitting down in 2 incisions , seeing surgeon tomorrow.

I had pain like that which began about 2 weeks after surgery and then a large egg shaped nodule formed under my incision site... I ended up hurting all the time, not just with moving or stretching like at first, so after a week of suffering I went to see my surgeon. It turned out to be an infection at the incision site. He drained it and put me on antibiotics and I almost immediately felt better. If hubby gets any worse or doesn't feel better in a day or two, have him call the surgeon's office. That's what they're for and they know exactly what they are looking at. Tell him not to wait for fear of bothering them like I did... Hope he feels better soon!

Thank you all for your input and experiences. My husband had appointment with the surgeon this week, however the ARNP assessed him over the phone with a muscle strain.
