Feels like I pulled a muscle in my abdomen?

It’s not under my incision it’s above my belly button? I was fine yesterday. This is new. Since it’s new should I worry? 10 days post op.

I had the same issue. Have you had a bowel movement yet?

For me, I took an adult dose of milk of magnesia and had a bowel movement. The pain went away afterwards.

Check your heart rate. If it’s above 120, go to the ER. If it’s between 100-120, call your doctor and see what they recommend you do. If it’s below 100, then it’s just the bowel movement and could be your muscles healing.

Thank you for that. Very helpful! I think it must be muscular. I’ve had small bowel movements but I’ve just began taking a med my gastro prescribed & my Probiotics. I’m gonna give it a cpl days, try to be more mindful of my movements & see if it fixes itself. Back to work today. No time for down time! 🤢

I had the exact same pain, mine went away after a couple of weeks. My friend who had her gallbladder removed had the same pain, it has something to do with the muscles there. It feels like you’ve done 1000 sit-ups
