Help! Did I Hurt Something?

[Memily 86]

I was laying in bed and sat up to fast, by the incision where they took out my stomach I heard and FELT a weird popping. Did I do something to hurt myself. I was a weird feeling, like something ripped. It doesn't hurt now but could I have hurt something inside?

Hope you're feeling ok.. Most likely it's the internal sutures they put in that area. At some point a lot of us felt that pop and even had a few days of pain when twisting.. If course though if something doesn't feel right don't hesitate to call the doc!

Better to be safe than sorry. If it were me, I'd call the doc. Good luck!

This has happened to me. Went in for my two week check up and told nurse, she said that I probably strained the area. I have to be careful when bending forward or to the right. You should speak with your Doctor or his office.

Did you spike a fever? Do you have any general feelings of crappiness? If you started internal bleeding, there'd be symptoms.

One thing I felt, which was weird, was a suture 'tag' pull out of the top incision. That doesnt make much sense. Ok you know the abdominal muscle lays under the skin. Well the skin incision, they didnt sew, they used steri-tape and it just closed up easy. But the muscle has this stiff fishing line suture in it. And in one of my incisions there was a pointy end sticking out through the top incision! It was pokey and would catch my shirt a little after the steri strips came off. I was bending over or twising or something and POP it sucked itself back through and hid on the inside. So bizarre. If you have stuff like that, it might have healed into a gunky scab on the inside and just pulled out of it. They do dissolve eventually.

If you feel weak all of a sudden or spike a fever, get it checked out.

Thank you all! I ended up calling the doctor last night. I know me, and I wouldn't have slept until I knew I didn't mess things up. The doctor said it was probably in internal suture that would eventually disappear anyways. He said there was nothing to be worried about and that it was common. Wooohoo! Also survived my first day back to work today.....I am exhausted and now have a Christmas party for work to go to. Uggggg.........so tired.
