So I have been up for the morning was doing great, 5th day post op, made my breakfast did the dishes & decided to strip my drain & empty the bulb. About halfway up the tube I got an intense pain in my right abdomen. I finished stripping it, emptied the bulb & took a Vicodin (last one I took was at 2am)...sitting here now trying to get the pain under control...what happened?!? Did I damage something??
