After a laparotomy 3 months ago, i have a burning sensation in part of the scar, when i bend or twist. what is this, or will it go away?

Pain: Pain at or near a surgical scar is common. There are tiny skin nerve that heal through the scar ; become sensitive. This can last several weeks or some months. See your surgeon for an exam if it persists.
