My umbilical hernia surgery hurts when i bend my core to the right. it's been a year since surgery. only happens the day after i workout. recurrence?

Possible , but. ...: It's possible that you tore something that could lead to a recurrence but if there is no bulge or obvious hernia sticking out than you are probably ok. Bruising and muscle strain can feel the same way. And 'tightness' can be confused with pain. Tightness is normal, pain is not. Try generic ibuprofen for a week or so and see if it improves. If not improving or if worse, see your surgeon
