hurts

Ok I havent had any pain since surgery. Sunday I may have overdone it, taking my friends kids skiing!� I DID NOT SKI! But maybe walking around helping with skis??? I feel a pulling when I bend ,from side incision point to belly button. Nothing too painful, just wondering, any ideas? If it isnt better by end of week or changes I will call surgeon.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
My scale finally moved I am down 14.8 lbs since surg morning

Hi there Lynn,

Yes, overdoing it can really set you back - for me, I felt it in my energy level after a day that was too much a couple of weeks out.

Agreed - if it is a persistent pain and does not improve, give the dr. a call. Sounds like you are doing great overall!

You're about at the point where I was cleared for lifting up to 20 pounds, so....  you're PROBABLY fine and just feeling the ache of muscles that have been traumatized by surgery... but as you very sensibly acknowledged, if it doesn't feel better shortly or if it changes at all, call your surgeon.

Yea...sounds like muscle/incisional pain from working the muscles that were cut into during surgery.  Take some tylenol and rest it and see how it does.  And yep, call the surgeon just to be sure

I had the same feeling come and go about 2-3 weeks out from surgery.  The last time I remember feeling it was a slight pain around my belly button around where one of my incisions was.  I don't think I've felt anything like that since week 5.  Hopefully it goes away for you!

Thanks Melissa that makes me fell better!

Yea...mine was on the right lower abdomen going towards the belly button....and to sum it up it felt exactly what Susan called it "a little burning hot man poking you with a red hot poker"
