Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

Stabbing/Stinging/Burning pains inside my abdomen 4 weeks post tummy tuck - wondering why?

AngieDP
I have Pains above my scar inside that feel like burning/stinging/stabbing. More on the right side, then occasionally on the left. Often excruciating. (I had a terrible leaking seroma and that is almost fully healed, now this, :( help) I only have naproxen and that is not even touching this pain. Any reason this is happening and how long it might last? It's not that I have the pains, just wondered why they came 4 weeks post op? The past four/five days have been torturing me.
