It is most likely nothing but Ouch!

Yesterday I had planned to return to work but when I woke up, I had a little pain in one of my incisions. A few hours later, it got so that I could not sit. I could only lay one one side. It is still here today and I wonder if I pulled something. I am 13 days out and never really had pain except for the staples.

I can push on it and it is only a little tender but something about sitting and standing makes it hurt. What would it feel like if I overdid it?

I'm curious if anyone else has had this experience. This started for me about five days ago. Surgery was on the 11th. When I sit for any length of time, it bothers me up under my ribs, just a little uncomfortable, like I need to 'shift' positions. The only way to compare the way it feels is it reminds me of how it felt when I was pregnant and the baby would be 'up under my ribs'. Make sense? Has anybody else had this feeling? Any idea WHAT it is?? It is so weird.

Gas? Is it a pressure? I remember that baby under the rib feeling. It sucked.

It isn't gas, just an uncomfortable feeling, I shift and it's fine for a little while. It's weird. My husband thinks it is just everything healing. I'll ask today. I'm sure it is nothing. It isn't pain and it is mostly when I'm riding in the car. I really noticed it when we were coming back from Galveston to Dallas, but even one day when we went to Houston, it was uncomfortable, not painful, just shifting positions every so often. I am hoping it doesn't last long. I am on a plane tomorrow! Ugh. How are you feeling this morning?

I don't hurt as much as yesterday or the day before but that is because it is morning and I just got up. Showering was...hard. I am about to call Sandy now.
