Is a burning sensation normal after tummy tuck surgery? I am only 2 days post op.

I feel as if I have a really bad burn on one specific area of my incision. If I had to describe the pain it would be similar to that of someone burning me with a cigarette. It lasts for only a minute or so and is brought on upon standing, its almost unbearable. It goes away after I relax or sit down. Any suggestions as to what this is? I assumed it may be nerve pain.
