Muscle pain

[HealthierMe2017 22]

So this may be obvious since I’m just shy of 3 weeks post up after the sleeve but want to make sure it’s nothing more. I’m having some muscle pains as I reach and move certain ways where my largest incision is. I want to say it’s just the muscle because I’m able and comfortable doing more and maybe I did to much too soon. Anyone have any experiences with this? I’ve done super well the past week so this feeling is kind of new. I have been taken some ibuprofen to take some of the pain away but it’s not unbearable.

Thanks in advance!

I would say that’s normal. I had some muscle pain when reaching up. I would think your body needs time to heal as a whole!! however just let your surgeon know. Just to make sure all is well!!

I’m having this too, muscle pain just near my largest incision site. It’s the only place that’s really still sore at 10 days out. Then think I tried to turn in my sleep or something last night and made it worse. Argh!

And Don't It make Your Blue Body Pale? (sorry Chrystal Gayle, I couldn't resist the paraphrase!) LOL😛

I am 14 days out and am feeling pain in several incisional sites but mostly where the biggest one is? It wasn’t bothering me before until 10 days post op? Is this normal? I am about to run out of pain medication and am feeling really concerned? Could I have over worked things?

I too am shy of 3 weeks and am experiencing pain in incisional sites and it also feels like I have been kicked in the gut or had the wind knocked out of me. I ran out of pain medication yesterday and wasn’t able to sleep much last night per pain. I also have an incisional hernia at my belly button area that will not be fixed till later that hurts. I am too wondering if this is normal or if I overworked my body in some way? I wish I could take ibuprofen but this is not an option. :(

I know this is an old post but any advise? I am having sharp pains by my largest incision and it started after I turned the wrong way in bed. It feels like I pulled a muscle.

Tendons,ligaments ,muscles even nerves, a lot gets moved around ,or cut duri,g your surgery. Granted it is a lot less monkey- doodling than they did in the days of "open" incisions, I carry some scars from them that I will carry to my dying day, unless I have plastic surgery, and I doubt I will, Because most plastic surgeons would laugh someone my age right out their doors.Probably would be thinking. " Vain Old Broad!" plus in the rear of my mind I remember what happened. to Joan Rivers, went in for a Minor Procedure and ended up Majorly Dead.
SO doubtful you did yourself too much harm turning over wrong, if you twisted or tore. something you wouldn't be alive enough by now to be reading this. And most things do get better with time!

Exact same thing happened to me. Post op day 11: sudden onset very severe right sided pain when I moved. No pain when I was still. I had to walk for a few days with my hands holding my abdomen! Totally gone by day 15. Surgeon said muscular.
