Possibly hurt myself... How do you know.

I was just sitting on the couch and I got up and reached for my glass of water and OMG... I just felt a sharp pain that went all the way to my back. It hurt so bad that I even started crying and lasted for about two minutes. Right now I still have a sharp pain in my belly. Thoughts??? I am so scared that I did something to my sleeve. Am I just panicing for nothing??? Help please.

How far out are you?

Can you ring your surgeons office and ask them if you should worry?

I call my surgeons office for lots of things and earlier out I called soooo much. They were always so nice and helpful. My drs. nurse is the sweetest and so willing to help!

Don't be afraid to ring them up! :)

I am 3 weeks post op. :o/ Okay ill try calling them.

Let me know what they say and how your feeling...

Hugs!

It could be pain from you internal stitches absorbing, but you should probably call the Dr just to be safe!

Hope it's nothing serious.

Same thing happened to me, it can be a tear of internal stitches, but with rest it should heal quickly. Take your pain meds if you have them until the pain subsides.

I called this morning right when it happen and they said not to worry. Hours later here I am that I can hardly walk, I called back they said to drink meds and if I want to go in tomorrow. I feel like the pain is about 6inches in length and it radiates to my back.

So how goes it, did you go to the doctor or did the pain subside?

Went to ER when I couldn't even hold the baby. I tore a muscle in the incision site. Got more pain meds and they said two to six weeks of recovery. :-(

Darn that hurts. Mine was a minimal tear and felt better in 3-5 days. I took the pain meds and forced myself to take it easy. Finally the pain became a thing of the past.

Hope you feel better soon.
