Pain after working out 6 weeks post tummy tuck.

Pain six weeks out after strenuous activities is not uncommon.  However, because it is persisting and you are concerned, he should reach out the her plastic surgeon to discuss with them personally.  Sometimes a snug binder or garment can help with the swelling and give some support during long shifts.  Discuss further with your plastic surgeon.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

Thank you for your question.  It is very common to have varying levels of discomfort for months following a tummy tuck depending on your activities.  The healing process is just that...a process.  You are not going to magically wake up one day and be completely back to normal.  The feelings of pulling, tingling, pain, etc. will slowly get better over the first year following your surgery.  Please just be patient and understand that, one day, you will be back to normal without any of these postoperative sensations.  Best wishes!

It does take time after a tummy tuck for the swelling to settle. As you get back to full exercise you may find the supportive garment is still worth wearing and you do often get some sensations as you describe. Usually anti-inflammatories and some rest should help this acute episode to resolve. I would contact your PS again and be examined.
