Pulled Stomach Muscle
At the end of week 2 post-op I twisted and pulled the muscles to the left of where the gastronomy tube was after surgery. It is now Week 4 anniversary and I went to pull the car door closed and again felt a knife like stab pain at the same site. I started back to my water aerobics this week. Last night it was a deep water exercise class and I did not think I did anything to agrevate the muscle.
Not sure what to do now. The stomach is still sore when I move the left arm or bend so I did not go up to the Y to ride the exercise bike.
I will give the Y a break for a couple of days. At week 2 after I did it I could not get in or out of a chair or bed. I do not want to do anything else to make it worse.
If it is still sore on Monday I will again call the surgeon.
In the mean time what do all of you think? Am I wise not to exercise for a few days? Without exercise I will not loose.
