What Is The Light Sharp Pain In The Lower Abdomen?
I had umbilical hernia surgery about 4 years ago. I workout pretty rigorously and recently experience light sharp pain (if that makes any sense) as if something may be tearing - could be scar tissue for all I know. Along with this has come some itching. Should I get this looked at?

Good query. You should get it looked at if its itching. Mild pain post surgery is usual specially a hernia surgery as a suture repair or mesh repair would have been done which pulls tissues together. If it is worrisome it would be better to get it examined. Take care.
