This was my first surgery also, so I understand what you mean! I also had tugging feelings, mainly on my left side. For me it went away around the 5th week. It would be a great idea to ask your doctor if what YOU are feeling is normal, but it does sound a lot like what I had. Good luck to you.

I am only 4 weeks out now so I truly understand how hard it is not to be able to do the little things. I had severe nerve pain and could not even lie down for the first two weeks. I had to sleep, sitting on the couch, surrounded by pillows. I now can sleep in bed but am unable to lie on my side. If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago if having the surgery was worth it I would have said, "NO, run for your life!".... But with that said, with each passing day, it gets better and better, and I am very glad I had the surgery. Keep your head up, you will be able to do the things you want; We all just recover on very different timelines... Best of Luck to you
