  • I had the same thing yesterday. Felt like I pulled a muscle. I think as we heal and start to do more it can get sore. I woke up today and it was better. I'm 18 days PO.

I felt like that the first 2 weeks. It hurt to inhale, mainly on the left side. The first week was the worst by the second week I felt it going away.

Try taking it easy, your body is recovering. Try resting As much as you can but if the pain gets worse or doesn't get better ask your doctor.

The surgeon said there is a big internal stitch there on the lwft side. I have it too so I asked. He has me taking aleve liquid gel open it on squeeze it into tiny bit of water twice a day. Helps a lot.
