Can scar tissue from a Tummy Tuck cause pain?

Asked By:blessed2bhere in Greenville ,North Carolina

I had a tummy tuck 13 months ago with no complications. But for the last few months, I have had sharp pains next to and above my navel mostly when I first get up in the morning. Movement seems to make it hurt, not usually when I'm still. It's almost like pin pricks. Could this be scar tissue or adhesions? Thanks so much.
