How Do I Know if I Tore Internal Sutures in my Lower Side Abdominal Wall?

blue44
I had a full tt 1year ago and wasn't fully satisfied with the result. I decided on scar revision,redo belly button,and tighten my lower abs due to bulging on the sides. I am a little over 2weeks out of surgery. This surgery was nothing compared to a full tt (pain)so i thought i was healing quickly and feeling great. Big mistake,i layed on my bed on my own without a garment,crunched my ab side ways,to look over to my husband,layed back down and then felt a BAD pain! Still hurts. Ab work ruined?
