tummy tuck

I had a tummy tuck 3 wks ago, and although my incision and navel are dry and well heal, i have a sharp pain in the left side of my incision.  It is not a constant pain, but happens when i walk and its very uncomfortable.   my apt is dam, cold and humid.  my mother says this could be the reason.   anything to worry about ?   my doctor said to take motrin 600mg.

At three weeks post surgery, it is unlikely that your discomfort is a serious matter.  There is still lots of healing going on and it is common to experience this kind of pain at this stage.  If it persists, see your surgeon again.
