Stomach muscles SO achy at six weeks post op. Normal?

I am six 1/2 weeks post op. The past few days my stomach muscles have been hurting very badly, like I did a thousand sit-ups. It hurts mainly radiating from the incision site, and it hurts to even touch my stomach. I don't have any bulges or hard spots, so I don't think it's a hernia. And I'm not running a fever or anything. I'm calling my surgeon tomorrow, but do you think this is normal healing? Everything else is going fine, except I have a lot of air in my stomach that might be contributing. I just want to see if anyone else has experienced this same muscle soreness this far out.
