Last night, in the middle of the night, my dogs were fighting in bed next to my head. I woke up in panic from a dead sleep, and instinctively picked up one of my dogs (28 lbs) and pulled her over to the other side of me. Immediately afterwards, I started having pain in my stomach and where my largest incision is (which is almost healed). I laid still for about 45 minutes hoping it would go away - it didn't, so I took some pain medication. I still didn't sleep and couldn't get comfortable with the pain. This morning, the stomach pain seems to be gone, but where the incision is is really hurting - first time ever.

Could I have done some damage or pulled out staples? how would I know?

I'm 3 weeks post op and have been doing fabulous until now.

If it keeps up contact your doctor. Better safe than sorry. Earlier this week (I would of been 2 1/2 weeks post op) my three year old grandson was climbing into his car seat cause he knows I can't lift him yet. He started to fall backwards and I caught him. I felt a pull and my largest incision started to hurt. it bothered me that day and was a little sore the next day. Now it is fine but I sure was concerned that i had done something to it. He weighs 42#. Hopefully you will be feeling good again soon.

Thanks CBD - that helps - I will give it a day or 2!

So sorry you are having pain. I've been picking up my granddaughter since I came home from the hospital ( she's 22lbs) and on Wednesday I cleaned out my garage. Lifting boxes half the day. I was 3 weeks out that day. Didn't even feel a twinge. I'm surprised you would have pain that far out. I would call the drs office and talk to them.
