Hello everyone
I'm about 9 days out and did something a little stupid. My husband and I were taking a walk along the beach yesterday and came upon some rocks. I figured we should walk on them to get through, and I thought I'd be careful. Well, made it almost all the way through before losing my balance. Luckily when I fell I was sure to roll down to my side, rather than landing on my stomach, but ouch! (I'm 25 btw)
I feel increased soreness, which is to be expected, but the pain to my lower belly button incision site has gotten worse. Prior to the fall it was managable 1/10 discomfort, now it's about a 3 or 4, and about the level of discomfort i was experiencing on day 4 or 5. And of course now I'm hypervigilant and I see a small quarter-sized bruise that I dont know if it was there before because it didn't hurt enough to notice.
If I had popped my internal stitches, would I be in more pain than I already am? Is this just regular pain from a fall or does it sound more serious?
