Can someone suggest what to do for chronic pain from tummy tuck?

J4K1
Hi. I would appreciate any help. I had a tummy tuck in 2016. Immediately after I felt extreme tugging from my belly button internally. I had a revisional surgery in 2018 to remove the permanent sutures and release any scar tissue. I saw that about 14 sutures were removed. I’m still having this pain. I have 2 children and it’s really affecting my life. Can someone please help suggest what I can do? I’ve had steriod shots injected and physical therapy. Nothing has helped. Thank you.
