Stabbing pain in big incision



Recommended Posts

I am 13 days post op and last night I over did it with activities and cleaning ect. I actually felt a big stab when I bent over to unload the washing machine. Now it's agony to walk and get up or down. If I lay down I am fine. I am worried I did something bc it's like being stabbed with a hot knife in my big incision. Any advice would be very welcome.

Similar thing happened to me when I was 2 weeks post op. I was scrubbing the kitchen floor and when I tried to get up I felt like I ripped something in my stomach. My Dr said I pulled an internal suture. I didn't damage anything but I had horrible if I coughed or bent over for about 2 weeks afterwards :(

I did see my doc office and they did an ultrasound to check for a hernia but saw nothing. I was so happy it wasn't anything. I thought something was wrong but like you both said that is all it is.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
