Is it normal to have pain in the lower back at a scar from an operation to remove a pilonidal sinus?

Yes, it is normal to experience pain at the site of a scar from a surgery even years after the operation. It is important to take care of your back while working seated for long hours. Try to apply some Voltaren Emulgel™ cream on the painful area and avoid putting too much pressure on it. It may also be helpful to change positions frequently throughout the day, including standing up occasionally. Avoid doing sit-ups for now and focus on other forms of exercise.
