Did I tear something a year and a half after my tuck?

Eclectic5265
I had a TT 1.5 years ago. Recently I feel like I did after surgery, like my muscles are tearing inside. It hurts to move at times especially if my abs are engaged. My belly button scar is even protruding now too. I do have more of a bulge on top of my belly button than I do below. It's weird and I'm worried about it. I had the TT because I had Diastasis Recti pretty bad and an umbilical hernia. Any thoughts?
