New stabbing incision pain 5+ weeks out

Hi all, my wounds never really hurt before, no sign of infection like redness or ozing etc.

However about 2 inches above my main central scar (and sometimes on under the scar it's self) the last two days on certain movements or pressure applied feels like i am being stabbed with a small knife! It does not hut constantly but when it does it's a 9/10 on the pain scale and I yell out.

I'm no expert but I don't think it's my sleeve, I think it's the muscle or fat or whatever is in there at that more shallow depth.

I don't know what could be causing this this far out - I've not done anything to strain it so it' seems strange it has suddenly occurred. Anyone else had this and a diagnose?

I have been experiencing that and my NP said it was the dissolving stitches inside separating from the flesh as it heals. I know how bad it hurts when you move a certain way. I put a warm pad their and it helped.

All the best and hope you feel better soon
