What could this pain & something poking under incision line be? 9 months post-op

kikibang1
I’m currently 9 months post op from a tt started to notice on my right side I feel a pain when bending , working out, or even stretching. I also notice there is something poking out a little under my incision line. My incision is completed healed however I can feel this weird knot under the skin and when I press on it or try to grip it with my thumb and index finger it hurts any idea what it may be and the reason for the pain?
