Pain near belly button

I am having a tearing/pulling, burning pain to the right of my belly button more than an inch from any incision. It is fine if I lay down and don’t move. The moment I get up and move now it hurts so much. I cannot bend over and walking hurts so much. It used to wax and wane, but now it is almost constant after I sit up and pain pills aren’t working. It used to help if I applied pressure, but even that hurts now. Anyone else had a similar issue?? Left a message for my nurse again since it is getting worse.

Pain only happens when I bend over too far or strain my stomach muscles too much now. I can finally walk and take a shower without being in excruciating pain!

I had a similar issue & it has gotten better. I have a high pain tolerance & was extremely worried when this kept happening. I am 2 week’s post op & those pains are pretty much gone. I still have tenderness & tend to sleep hugging a pillow. I think the more you move around, the better it will get.
