My recovery was going great until I had a sneezing episode. Could I have wired through the muscle fascia or torn sutures?

Asked By:KPeace

I am a mommy of 3 age 33 yrs, I had BA & TT(no lipo) on March 18th, 5'2 , 114 pounds and my abdomen was looking very flat and barely swollen by 14 days post op. Almost standing up fully straight and wearing compression garment almost 24/7. I felt good, I sneezed 6 times in a span of 3hrs. By the evening my whole abdomen started to swell with pain and a burning sensation along my rectus abdominis. My abdomen does not look the same anymore after the sneezing episode, much swelling and more lax.
