Pain when I twist or bend

Hey y’all!

Im day four post op. I’m weaning off the liquid pain meds and notice when I bend over or twist funny it feels like something is poking me inside my waist next to my lower right incision. Is this normal?

thanks!

Yes this is normal, you just had invasive abdominal surgery LOL

I pictured that commercial where the surgeon left his phone in the guys belly are and you can hear Siri answer how to make bread or whatever it was.

Hope your pain/discomfort does not last long. Congrats on your surgery.

I have the same issue. I asked at my 2 week follow up. Told me the biggest spot that's sore is where the stapler was in. Also said theres a couple stitches as well so it'll take a little longer for that one area to stop being sore

I’m 2 weeks post op and still feel it if I twist or bend a certain way. It’s annoying at this point lol

It's probably best not to twist or bend too much then... It'll wear off - I hope you feel better soon.
