Sharp pain in upper abdomen after tummy tuck

February 21, 2016
Asked By:Jaclyn B in Salinas, CA

I am on day 3 of having really sharp pain in the center of my upper abdomen. I am 2 months post op from full tummy tuck. I did work out on Wed. so I thought maybe I over did it and it's just sore, but three days later I still have the pain. Should I be concerned and see my Doctor? I hate to bother if I'm just sore. Thank you!
