Why is my Belly Button Burning After a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

i had surgery last friday, march 9th..so far i have had a good recovery besides the fact that my belly button hurts and feels like its on fire!! i cant even sit up or walk bc the pain is so bad...my bb is taped up so i cant see what it looks like..but im just wondering if this is normal? i called my ps and she said it was normal due to the swelling but im scared bc it hurts sooooooo bad..its stopping me from doing anything..please help..dont think a pic will help but heres one anyway :) thanx

I have the same issue and was told swelling is causing it. I have tugging on my belly button when I stand too. I have noticed on less swelling days it is better.
