Hard time standing up straight

My surgery was 4 days ago. Overall I feel pretty good but I can't stand up straight I'm all hunched over. Did this happen to anybody? Does anybody know what this could be? Suggestions?

  • I have noticed that myself. Surgery 8/21. I think I'm just favoring my stomach and incisions a bit. That's all I can think it could be.

    Pretty normal. As pain passes you will straighten out. You need a couple weeks.

    I did that too. As you heal more you'll straighten up. I was babying my incisions.

My surgery was Aug 25, so I'm right there with you. I find transitioning from sitting to standing is tough. Once I'm up I have to wait a few minutes before I can totally straighten up. I think it's normal. I do have a lot of swelling so I'm going to try an ice pack.
