I do as well but it’s from my largest incision site & I believe I have formed some scar tissue there.

Is it sharp when you breath or just in general? Is it near an incision? I had a sharp pain when I'd take a deep breath (among other symptoms) and found out I have an infection in my lung.

That's good! If it persists or gets worse I'd definitely reach out to your doctor!

If the incision has formed a scar, I would run around the incision to break up the scar tissue a bit. It may hurt initially but should get better over time

I was having the same pain and over 2 days it increase where it was unbearable to sit at my desk (I’m one month out) so I went to the doctor and they admitted me, I strained the muscles near my stomach and became so dehydrated from being in pain my blood pressure dropped wayyy low. Be careful and call your doctor if you have to!
