Hi,

As you had undergone a surgery a week ago, this should be a common thing, but rather ignoring it, its better to have a visit to the surgeon who operated it. Usually, at times it is the hardness of the muscles and the sutures.

Which takes some time to go away. But to just make your mind clear you can visit the surgeon and get it checked if any other diagnosis he can make with the physical examination. Its better to be alert, conscious and safe rather just leaving this matter into illusion.

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

Regards,
