What does your doctor say? Are you about due for your 6 months post op?
Have you been having this problem for a while?
Have you seen the Doctor since you were cleared after your 12 weeks?

I am almost 9 months post op from a TAH. My scar is from just under my navel to my pubic line as doc had to follow a previous scar. I had the sharp pain too and the muscle beside the navel was so sore and it felt like it was moving but the doc said it was a spasm. The pain in your lower tummy could be bladder related since the bladder and intestines settle into the spot left by the uterus. I think 6 mos is a little long to have these symptoms though so I would get in for a visit my scar caused me alot of discomfort too. Take care.
