A member asked:

I had laparoscopic surgery about 2 1/2 weeks ago. when i get up or move belly button incision will sting. sometimes my incisions sting. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very Normal: Usually, the belly button incision can be the largest one that's made, and has the strongest stitches into the surrounding muscles to keep them together until they heal. As you get more active, those muscles contract and pull on the stitches, giving a sharp, stinging, or shooting pain. It's your body's signal to say that what you're trying to do physically, it's not ready for. If stays, see Dr
