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.
