Tearing pain in upper abdomen? (Photo)

September 30, 2017
Asked By:azygouspoet in Las Vegas, NV

I'm 3 months post op and everything was fine until yesterday. I've been feeling a consistent burning, tearing pain in my upper left ab area. It doesn't feel normal. I got the okay from my doctor to do ab workouts which I've been doing, but now I feel like maybe something is tearing. I have a belly button that has been closing so I have been keeping a bead there to keep it open until my next appointment. I wonder if keeping something my belly button is causing damage.
