11 weeks post op Tummy Tuck and Pain After Exercise. (photo)

Stlmoma
I started walking slowly on the treadmill at 9 weeks. Then at 10 weeks I moved to stretching, crunches and light push-ups. Last week I started getting a sharp pain in my lower right side. To the point I took a pain killer to relieve the pain. I stopped all exercise immediately. I waited an entire week before walking again. Tonight I walked on the treadmill for 30 mins and the pain has returned. Do I need to call my PS or just give it some more time? Thanks for any suggestions. Deb
