Severe Pain on and off in Abdominal Muscles 10 Weeks Post Op?

kristynj0y
10 weeks post tummy tuck/uh repair. Great result and normal recovery so far with soreness in my ab muscles intermittently. Recently it has ramped up a lot. If I press down the center line of my abs, the muscle feels corded and hard. Some swelling. The pain can be intense. Laughing is excruciating and even just standing up can set it off. It feels like a permanent charlie horse. Pressing down on it helps a little. Is this a normal part of recovering from this surgery? Will it go away?
