pain when bending forward

[lynmcg 9]

I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I realize things are probably still in the healing phase, but I have a terrible pain when I bend forward. It almost feels like something is pinching with a slight burning sensation inside and it's located on my left side. I really don't want to push the panic button or anything, but it's starting to annoy the heck out of me. Does anyone here know what this could be? I know I should call my doc but thought I'd ask on here first.

I have the same exact thing you are describing. I talked to my Dr., well the nurse called me back and said that its probably the muscles healing from being manipulated from surgery. She said there's a lot of pulling and tugging going on during surgery. I have my follow up on Thursday and will definitely ask the Dr about it. Hope this helped.

I'm experiencing the same thing and the doctor told me the exact same thing as rockingmom. Muscles are healing.

Pain in the abdominal area for the first 4-6 weeks is normal. Just take it easy, don't overuse your ab muscles and don't do any heavy lifting.
