Consultation a must.: Pain is a vague symptom and may be the sign of nerve entrapments in the scar or something more serious. Best to get an in person consultation to sort this out.

Wide scar issues: The scars that you are describing appear to be quite wide. You may have underlying muscle or fascial weakness and could have a hernia. The other reason for pain can be trapped cut nerve endings. See your primary care first to establish the cause and you will then get referred to a specialist.

Seek medical eval: All scars are a nidus of inflammation which can also impact underlying tissue. Consider scar deactivation with or without e-stim and scar injection (homeopathic sol with saline/ lidocaine) after discussion with your physician.
