Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it may due to movement and wound not completely healed. For that you can take tab. Tylenol after consultation. If you have fever and discharge from the incision site, then consult with surgeon, you may require antibiotics. Restrict your movement for some days, till wound completely heals.

Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
