Upper Abdominal Pain 8 Weeks PO? (photo)

nomorespanxs
Hello. I am 8 weeks PO from TT and muscle repair and am experiencing significant pain above and to the right of my belly button. I did some light lifting of weights at the gym about a week ago (after being cleared to do so by my PS) and am afraid I hurt myself. This pain has been occurring consistently for over one week and seems to be getting worse rather than better. I have done no more activity and have done my best to rest to try to recover. Is it possible that I injured an internal suture?
