I'm two weeks out and moved the wrong way a couple of days ago where I quickly jolted backward and up as I leaned forward. I felt a sharp stabbing pain to the right of my belly button that literally felt like I had a red hot poker stabbing into my stomach. The area was sore to touch for a few minutes and I was frozen in pain for about a minute.
I spoke to my surgeon who assured me I was okay and advised me that I have aggravated the internal stitch that is put in. Ever since now when I bend the wrong way or sneeze I get the sharp stabbing pain that radiates from that spot. It's awful! Anyone else have this issue?
