Whenever I do sit ups my belly button hurts. I had tummy tuck with umbilical hernia repair 3 months ago. Should I stop exercising? No sit ups/ crunches? My belly button does not look swollen but hurt while I do sit ups and feels tender throughout the day. My CS said it was okay to exercise? What to do?
