Painful incision

I am 7 days out and my incisions are healing great! Minimal soreness, except for one. I think it’s muscle related. The pain radiates from my back, side then to my front stomach muscle, right into one of my incisions. Wow! I see stars if I attempt to sit up or lay down in a bed. Anyone else experience this? Should I be worried? It is so different then the others!

That sure doesn't sound right. Get to the doctor. Do you have a fever? Is there any oozing from the incision? Did you ever have surgery in that location before? I had a hysterectomy 7 years ago, that was also laparoscopic. The bariatric surgeon came across scar tissue in one area where he made an incision. That area hurt much longer, but nothing like you have described. You should discuss this with your doctor.
