Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The muscle around a fresh scan can be hard as well as the pains from time to time is NOT normal. as this is already 3 weeks post -op.
I would advise to get a review from the operating surgeon.
Get checked for any possibility of an infection;
Take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen with Ranitidine and see the results.
You can apply a combination of honey and Vaseline as a light massage over the scar, it soothes a lot.
Do not worry if there is no swelling, redness or fever or any other signs and symptoms .
