Pain from tummy tuck muscle repair 2 years later (Photo)

armstrong405
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair in January 2021. I just started experiencing a pain in my side after sleeping and it has even woken me up out of my sleep. It is a sharp pain and hurts when I try to turn over and is very sore. The pain is two inches to the left and one inch below my belly button. Do you think that something may have happened to my muscle repair during the night? I haven’t been able to rest after this has started due to the soreness and pain when trying to turn,etc.
