7 weeks post TT/MR. Did I pop muscle repair thread or pull a muscle.

I am 7 weeks post Op from tt/mr. Yesterday while doing light kitchen cleaning like dishes and sweeping, I all of a sudden felt a pain under my right rib cage in my muscle repair area that feels like a pin or needle is sticking in me. Could it be a popped stitch or just a pulled muscle. I feel it when I do certain movements like bending over or twisting or sometimes if I touch it. Should I be concerned.
