I had a muscle tightening tummy tuck 3 months ago. Although the pain is getting better, it still hurts to sneeze and stretch. I started exercising again 4 days ago using a rowing machine. I lasted 2 days, by the third day I had to stop as I had a pain in the top let part of the muscle. I'm wondering when I can expect to feel normal again in regards to pain and sensation in the tummy, if I started exercising too soon and could I have done some damage to the muscle from starting exercising? Thanks

Yes, itching is very common in healing wounds. There are histamines that are released that cause itching and that is why we take anti-histamines. I would not worry about it because it will resolve with time.
