May be... and...: Do you mean severe sharp but intermittent pain? The expected post-operative pain in the incision will usually &gradually fades within 2-4 weeks although that in few may last and linger to a highly variable duration. But if the pain after incisional pain described is intermittent, sharp, unpredictable, or physically related, one needs to think about possible nerve entrapment-related pain. Ask doc.
