shooting razor pain when i move, could it be a hernia or from a tummy tuck 5 yrs ago?

Hi this is really weird never had this before.  I had a tummy tuck 5 yrs ago and near where the appendix is (had my appendix out) just above the tummy tuck scar when i move my stomach muscles i feels like someone has a razor just under the skin and ripping through my muscles.  When i first felt the pains thought my scar was ripping apart.  Ive seen my dr 2 weeks ago when it started and she felt nothing but ordered a ultrasound mainly looking at my ovaries which i told her its not inside but just under my skin feeling.  It started going away and then 4 days ago its started again REALLY bad i can hardly move.  The ultrasound she couldnt see anything.  I have an appointment monday morning but really fed up sitting really still as i cant handle these sudden pains it actually feels like something is ripping me apart.

 

Has anyone else had this?

Sounds a bit like adhesians from the op. I had a colostomy removed and got adhesians about 4-5 years later.

 

Google adhesians.

Sounds terrible, I wonder if it could be scar tissue pain?

I agree with Sandy, I have had 3 large operations and I suffer from adesions and the pain can be like you have described........nothing can be done about them, as if you have them removed, you will only get more.

 

I take pain killers when I have the pain.

 

Better see your dr. just to make sure.

Sandy did you have this pain when you got adhesions and did you need surgery?

I just done a bit of a google, they seem to say it's not likely after 5/6yrs to be scar tissue pain but have mentioned hernia, can you feel a lump in the area?
