Should I be concerned about soreness and lack of sensation 8 months post op?

Asked By:chelseaKay

It’s been 8 months since my tummy tuck. I had my abs repaired after they separated with 3 pregnancies. My concerns are, I’m still numb from just above my belly button down to the incision. Is that normal? And from what I can feel above my belly button, my abs are very tight and a bit sore to touch still. Even flexing or doing ab workouts at the gym doesn’t feel right. Almost feels like your muscles being sore after a heavy workout that never goes away.
