Pulled muscle maybe?

Hi everyone.. It's been forever since I've been on here. So many things happened after my surgery idk where to begin.

I was sleeved 11/16/15. I've had no issues at all. No nausea, vomiting, truly a success! I'm down 26 since SW and 42 lbs from my HW.

2weeks after my surgery my daughters water breaks! She had her baby 6weeks early. After an epidural I was of course helping her push while pushing her one of her legs, until she finally had him.

I know this is long, but the baby had to be transported an hour away due to being premature. Since then which it's been 2weeks now I've been running non stop. Exhausted and I have this pain at one of my incision sites.

It's excruciating at times. It's on my right side. I called my surgeons office and was told that's where they pulled out my stomach. But they want to see me thiursday. And also mentioned gall bladder ???? it's not!!

However this morning I bent down to pic up my phone charger and OMG!!!

It felt as though something tore inside of me. I know some pain is normal. But it hurts to bend over, turn over when I'm sleeping and sometimes just standing. Has anyone else had this sort of pain? Was it serious?

I am taking it easy now since the baby is home. I have a tendency to put others before me and now I've potentially hurt myself for doing so.

My largest incision hurt for a while. I will say it was about 6 weeks out that it finally stopped hurting. I also had trouble with pain turning over at night and even standing straight sometimes was problematic. It sounds like you have been doing a lot in this first month and you might be stressed. I was told not to lift anything heavy so be careful of that. If it persists do go see your doctor.

Exactly what the Dr said yesterday! REST!!!! He said I could of possibly caused the beginning of a hernia. So I'm doing nothing! And yes I have absolutely done too much! Thank you so much for Your advice and for sharing your experience ... I'm resting, resting, and resting! Lol its hard but I have come too far to mess something up. Dr orders and instructions are extremely important to follow... Even when life throws things at you its still important to take care of self first!
