I did something wrong!

Either last night or early today, I pulled a muscle or something in the mid left to just below stomach area. I may have bent over too far when trying to pick up cans that the cats knocked over. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, other than some ice therapy, pain killer (yes, it's about a 5-6 on a scale of 10), and rest, does anyone have any other suggestions? It feels like a bad strain just below the waistband. It's been 12 days since surgery and this is making me a bit anxious. Thank you. Linda

I personally would call my surgeon. I dont know but freshly post op as you are we can easily get hernia's! HAVE to be so careful just after surgery. PHONE and let your surgeon know the pain your in and what happened just to be sure. KEEP UPS POSTED LISA 310/201/???

Hey Linda, Pains are no good, especially when you are so fresh out. I do say give the surgeon a call and let them know what is going on. I am sure its nothing but better to be safe. Let us know! Tavia

Linda, I have the same problem don't remember if I pulled a muscle or what, when I lay down I have to lay in a certain position it feels just like an empty spot on the lower left side just below my stomach and a little in between the hip area, at times I can't even stand up straight, Well anyway I have an appointment next friday to see my Dr. so that he maybe able to pin pointthe problem, The pain has been there for over 2 wks now but did not want to go to the Dr. because I thought it was just a muscle sprain but now that it is not getting any better I have decided to go to the Dr. Hope it is nothing serious. KEEP ME INFORMED.
