I had my surgery on oct 24th. I had the perfect recovery until yesterday. I will tell on myself I did go to the gym and use the elliptical but for only 10 min and walked in the treadmill which I'm allowed to do. Anyway yesterday the pain was horrible to the point where I took pain meds all day and today it's bearable but my lower back and lower belly hurt now as well. Could I have hurt my muscle from overdoing it? I go to the doctor on Wednesday for my post op and I don't want to make 2 trips.

Any fatigue? Dizziness? Fever? These are signs to go to the doctor, stat. But when in doubt, it never hurts to call the doctor's office and see what they say. I suggest you take it easy for a few more weeks before going back to the gym hardcore.

I would just call. What can it hurt?

None of those. Just pain. Now I think the back pain was gas because (tmi) I just went to the bathroom and it's gone but thanks guys
