Horrible Pulling Pain

For the past two days I haven't been able to stand up straight. I am 10days post op and besides the regular pain of the incision I have this pulling pain at the top of my stomach when I try to stand up. I thought I should just stand up quick this morning it hurt so bad I broke down into tears. I called my dr the nurse said since I am coming in today we can talk about it then but I guess I will be walking in there hunched over :( I think something is wrong anyone else have/had this problem?

Try a heating pad. I had a similar pain, it was tight and the muscle was knotted up over my left incsion, I started using a heating pad a bunch and I am so much better off and moving better too

You may have a stitch that's tight or a muscle that has decided to knot up. It's good that you're going to see the doctor today, but it will probably be something minor. If heat feels good, then you should certainly apply a heating pad or warm cloth to the area.

I had that problem. What helped was putting on a shaper ( not too tight though) it acts like an abdominal binder and keeps everything in place and your stitch won't hurt when u move

I found the same. It was very much like my emergency c-section - in a different pace:). I am 2weeks post-op and the tightness has gone. I think the internal swelling and bloatedness makes it tight and as that subsides the tightness eases. Hope you feel better soon.
