I did have pain around my
incision for a long time following my
surgery. However, swelling did not increase after the surgery. My stomach was somewhat swollen after surgery and took a few months to completely go down, but the swelling never got worse during the healing process. If you do too much too soon, you do run the risk of delaying healing and even of getting a hernia. So, if it persists, I think you should call your doctor. Don't worry about overreacting.
