I think I hurt myself

Help!! how long will it take for muscles to feel better if I hurt my tummy muscles? I had surgery on aug 31. I started to excercise in water. I think I did something. My belly is so sore. It really bad hurts allot. I have sharp pains and continual soreness. If that's what I did, how long will it last? Cause if it is something else, then I will need to go to the dr. I dont want to go needlessly though. Sheila

Hi Shelia; Yes you probably did pull some muscles but I would still call the Dr's office and let them know what's going on. I am 4 weeks post-op and I feel like it is a strain on my stomach to drive my suburban after the day is over my stomach is sore; so I am going to park it for about a month and drive my car so my stomach can heal. As far as the excercise go I am focusing on really low impact my Dr. suggest only 20 minutes at a time. Take Care HUN! Sabrina
