Pulling, Pain, Puckering at stitches -adhesion or nerves??

Two weeks post op from a TLH - Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and on my left hip the stitches feel as though the doctor stitched it about a half an inch too high up and into my muscle and the skin overhangs over it even though I am very skinny with a flat stomach. This is completely different from my other three incisions which all lay flat and do not hurt. I am unable to stand up completely straight without pain. It feels as though my skin/stitched area is being pulled and it is painful! I can only walk around the house and I have to bend forward and to the left just to alleviate the pain. Going to the doctors tomorrow but I know I'm going to hear the "don't worry" nonsense from Kaiser. Anyone have this so I can have some response to the doctors don't worry response?

Pulling, Pain, Puckering at stitches

It turns out that the stitch was too deep into the muscle and so I had to go back into surgery and have my gynecology doctor cut and pull out the stitches and this time she used "surgical superglue" instead of stitches instead so she wouldn't make the same mistake as I'm very thin so its easy to go too deep with stitches. On a recovery day 24 and finally able to get out of bed and get around. I also got sick twice with 2 911/ER trips and ended up with colitis 5 days after original hysterectomy and was back in hospital for 3 days. It's been a crazy 3 weeks.
