Anyone have nerve pain related to internal stiches?

I had surgery 3/17/10 and had unrelieved pain in the hospital. I just figured pain was to be expected. Then I had a burning pain up under my left ribs that I just assumed was from the drain pressing on nerves. I also had a sharp pain near the belly-button incision that I thought was just a healing pain. After having the drain removed I was in so much pain I would have cried but it hurt too bad. After testing they say the internal sticth (disolvable)is on the nerve that runs from my ribs to my lower stomache and this is causing all my pains. They said it should be gone by my 1 mnth check-up which is in 1 week. Nothing has changed from what I can tell. Anyone else had this and if so, how long before it went away?
