Uncontrolled pain 2 weeks after tummy tuck, is it normal and what to take for pain?

msresa1
I am a little over 2wks post-op from a full tummy tuck with lipo. I have been taking motrin for pain and swelling. I went back to work yesterday ( i am a secretary) and now i am experiencing increasing soreness and muscle pain. I am taking 800mg of motrin q4h but it is not helping. Should i be concerned and is there something else I can take to help with pain?
