Call your surgeon and describe pain.

I agree with @@KristenLe, please call your surgeon's office. It may be gas, your period a pulled muscle or absolutely nothing. It is improtant to let them know when something just doesn't feel right.

Best to be checked out or at least talk to your doc's office....hope you feel better soon.

Ty...im calling them soon...

It's always best to get it checked if you're worried.

I'm 6 weeks out and last week had similar sounding pain under to cage. There was an area that hurt and was a little tender. It was due to internal healing. Stitches dissolve and nerves re-knit. I ended up taking some of my leftover pain meds and it went away in a couple days.

Always check though, but if you dr says it is normal, just know you aren't alone. :-)

@@DMH82 - go to the ER if you cannot get an answer.

please update us after you talk to/see your team.

Thank u every1 for all the replies...I seen my doc today and he says everything seems normal...I am bloated which he said could be gas or possibly my period..If the pain becomes very sharp or unbearable go directly to ER...But as of right now he see's no issues of concern....thankx again for all the replies and concerns....
