I'm wondering if I did some harm to my stomach I pick up 4 books at my college bookstore and I walked with them about 10 minutes to my car and I realize my right side of my stomach hurts horrible. Any way I bend down or twist right it's a kinda sharp stinging pain there, I'm almost 3 weeks postop what should I do? I see the surgeon in 4 days

Pulled a muscle probs, heat and ice, you should be okay, but don't life over 10lbs until the doctor says otherwise. Tell the doc when you see him/her!

Yea I dumb but stupid nursing books are heavy it was packed so I said it shouldn't weight that much but me tryin to be superwoman didn't work.. Thanks

Everyone is different. I had the 20lb lifting restriction on paper for 6 weeks, but after my 2 week follow up with the surgeon, he said not to worry too much about it that you are pretty much healed by now. Still, take it easy and see what your surgeon has to say. It could be as simple as you twisted a little funny when lifting the books without realizing it and just have a little kink.

My surgeon said no lifting greater than 5 lbs until after 6 weeks, if you start lifting heavy items you may cause yourself an incisional hernia
