Bad Twist/Bend. Should I be Concerned?

Hi all, 2 weeks post op tomorrow. All has been going great and have been pain free for some time now. This morning I got in my car and must have bent "hard" or twisted (not actually sure what happened), but immediately felt some pain on my left side. Haven't been able to shake the pain all day. It's a bit dull, but will spike up here and there or when I drink sometimes. Should I be concerned? I'm a worrier by nature so my mind is going a bit crazy and thought maybe someone else has done something similar early on post-op? Thanks guys!

  • Hopefully it is nothing more than soreness and a pulled muscle. If it continues in another day or 2, call your Dr just to be sure you're okay.

  • Thanks Twins! Hoping its just like you said. Have a good night!

    I had the same issue. It is muscle pain per my Surgeon. Be careful bending, twisting, or doing too much.

Thank you both for replies! Awife: how long did the pain last for you?

Nikkoal: so, so sorry to hear about your picc. I hope it's very temporary and you start feeling better quickly!

It lasted for about a week and a half. I had a hernia removed as well so he said my muscles are trying to get back to normal.
