What Causes Hard Muscle Under Scar After Appendix Removal?
My daughter had her appendix removed 4 weeks ago..she practiced just a bit with her basketball team on Friday and as of Saturday, when you push a bit down on one of her scars, you can feel her muscle very hard, but it is just under her scar..Do you think she ruptured her self by playing basketball?

I see no reason to suspect ruptured sutures from your discription
check for any haematoma (red or blue color )
good luck
