Hi all! I'm 10 days post op and yesterday I sneezed 3 times in a row and wow did it hurt so I took some pain meds and when I woke up this morning I was on my side kinda stomach! I got up and all day have had pain on my upper left side by my insicion area and noticed my port incision has a sunk in side on inscison and seen a stitch poking thru? Anyone else had part of their insison do this and should I still be having pain 10 days out?

I'm 10 days out as well, and my port site is also very tender. When I turn over, sit up etc. I don't want to say that having pain because of sneezing is normal though! Definitely contact the Dr. tomorrow! Just in case =] good luck!

Keep a pillow near buy, when you feel a cough or sneeze coming on, put the pillow over the incision, and push the pillow into the stomach area.

Not to lite, and don't hurt yourself, so make it firm. This will lesson the pain that can turn into a Hernia.

I'm surprised your Dr. didn't tell you about this...

You will find the rite spot, and pressure for the coughing or sneezing. Hold it there for about 3 seconds after the sneeze. So that anything that got disturbed, is now settled.

Hope you feel better, Shirley.
