Stabbing pain in big incision

I am 13 days post op and last night I over did it with activities and cleaning ect. I actually felt a big stab when I bent over to unload the washing machine. Now it's agony to walk and get up or down. If I lay down I am fine. I am worried I did something bc it's like being stabbed with a hot knife in my big incision. Any advice would be very welcome.

Microscopic nerve endings growing back - happened with my c section too but if you are worried call your doc

Similar thing happened to me when I was 2 weeks post op. I was scrubbing the kitchen floor and when I tried to get up I felt like I ripped something in my stomach. My Dr said I pulled an internal suture. I didn't damage anything but I had horrible if I coughed or bent over for about 2 weeks afterwards :(

I did see my doc office and they did an ultrasound to check for a hernia but saw nothing. I was so happy it wasn't anything. I thought something was wrong but like you both said that is all it is.
