Weird post LBL experience...

Ever since my LBL, I have hated sneezing and coughing.  It isn't the most pleasant experience at all! Well, I sneezed today and felt a pretty weird popping sensation in my lower abdomen.  It was just a quick feeling, but it was different than the discomfort that sneezing usually causes. Nothing swelled after and there was no residual pain.  Do you think one of my muscle repair stitches could have popped?  I have an appt with my surgeon in a month for a check up.  Do you think I need to go see him sooner?  I am hoping that it was nothing.  If there was more swelling today or extra pain, I would definitely go see him early, but since there is none of that, I am not sure if I should make an earlier appt or just wait.  Is there anything they can do for you if the stitches do pop?  Any input would be great!

I love your quote....I need to adopt that for my life.  I hope someone will have an answer to your question.  What did your surgeon say?

I had something similar from laughing too hard. One of my close friends is a comedian.. I had to avoid him for a while after my LBL but despite him trying hard he still managed to make me laugh when he inadvertently mentioned something that is part of his comedy routine.

Anyways I felt something pull, and then for about 1-2 weeks when I walked I felt a pulling sensation in that area. I was really nervous about that but my 2 nurse friends said I would have really noticed if I had done damage.

Sure enough it went away on it's own. I have healed super fast and have only mild soreness when I do more strenuous things like get out of my car or get up from a low seat. Hope things get better for you soon!

The same thing happened to me while stretching in bed before getting up. My DR said it was one of my stitches that popped. Probably weakened from dissolving. No issues afterwards.
