Tummy tuck, diastisis recti repair, umbilical and ventral hernia mesh repair. Can permanent sutures cause pain 8 years later?

I had a tummy tuck, with diastisis recti repair, along with an umbilical and ventral hernia mesh repair 8 years ago. Following the procedure, every time I do anything with my abdominal muscles, I get pain and swelling that will last up to a week or more within the diastisis recti area. I thought that the mesh from the umbilical hernia was the cause of this ongoing pain, but upon a recent exploration of my abdomen, it was found that the mesh does not go up as far as the diastisis recti. This leads me to think that the internal sutures could be causing this issue? Can permanent sutures cause pain 8 years later?
