Is it normal to have constant nerve pain/burning/stinging sensation under scar?

Full abdominoplasty 8/29; results amazing. I had a full TT on 8/29. Healing is going well. I had set back with a reaction to suture which lead to opened wound. That is healed up nicely though. My PS is wonderful and I’m very pleased so far. I do have a constant stinging/ burn like pain under my scar. Is this normal? Does it usually subside?
