I am almost 3 wks post op, no issues at all. This morning, when I woke up I did I big stretch. You know, like when you stretch your arms above your head/ stretch out your back... Well, my back popped but I also has this weird pain in my belly. Sharp shooting pain, almost like something popped in there as well. I have felt ok, but my stomach area has been sore all day. It actually hurts.

Hoping its just a stretches muscle in there- but wondering if anyone has experienced something like this?

I had a similar thing. Doctor said that with the stitching I just pulled a muscle. I took some of my leftover pain meds and took a good nap. It helped.

Yep! I did that at about 5 weeks out... And again last week at a Zumba Water class, and I'm almost 5 months out. As long as the pain doesn't worsen, your back is ok, and it only lasts a few days, you should be ok. Some docs recommend a light massage around the area and a heating pad. But, please consult your doc if you have any concerns or it's not better soon.

Thank you- glad to know others have has this happen. Little scary! I got to my post op follow up this Thurs, I will certainly mention it if not better by then.

Ask anyway. It's a good idea to find out what your surgeon suggests to do, since it could happen again.
