I removed a bag of trash from my kitchen trash can and it was below the 20 pound weight restriction. I still managed to pull something and have been having pain from the big incision area when walking since then. I am hoping this is something that will cure itself in a couple of days. Very mad at myself because I have been getting around great and feel this is a setback for me.

Anyone else had anything similar happen? If so how long until it was better?

I had my surgery on Nov 13th - so I am 2.5 weeks out.

You have no reason to lift a single thing - It was made clear to me to not lift a thing - This could be medical and if not let up i would make a phone call - My doctor clearly told me do not lift anything heavier then a bottle of water for a month and then do not lift anything heavier then a gallon of milk for 3 months - To this day i am very careful as to what i lift.

My idea to you is lay back today and see if it lets up If not call the Doc ASAP

The same thing happened to me. Wasn't thinking and lifted a gallon of water. It resolved for me after a day. Stitches were intact and no bleeding. But, pick up the phone and call your doctor if you feel iffy.

I stretched during the night and had shooting pains for a day. It resolved and I don’t feel it anymore but I was worried for sure. Made a mental error unrelated to that instance where I picked up my three year old instinctively so he could see a passing jet. He’s about 40 lbs. I instantly put him back down and was worried but I didn’t feel anything thank goodness!
