I had a similar thing with mine, they actually talked about a particular type of tissue that forms post-surgically (sorry can't remember the word for it) that feels like a long lump under the wound area but apparently it's perfectly normal, its a sign that the wound is healing, and it does go away eventually. However if you're worried by all means see your dr even just for peace of mind.
I had problems with my wound (infection wise) so I'm not a good person to ask about how long the healing took. I had fluid behind the wound, so I was really nervous about the lump (thinking it meant the infection was taking hold again) but the drs assured me it was a good sign of healing.
If your pain level starts to increase, if the wound starts to leak or smell bad, or gets hot and red, or if you start feeling unwell (fevers), see your dr straight away. I guess if it's been a significant change over the last couple of days it might be worth getting checked out too.
