Swelling nearly 10 weeks after tummy tuck! Any suggestions?

January 2, 2015
Asked By:Clairecluck in UK

The more i do in a day the more swollen I get. Is this normal ? I Have horses to look after to feed and muck out twice a day. dogs to walk and want to exercise. But feel like I'm going to break if I do. It still hurts if I sneeze cough etc I tried a bit of stretching and some basic exercise but it pulled and made my stomach bloated. I feel like a big beach whale wondering if it was worth it. Just want to get back to normal. I feel worse than before. And not sure how to feel better about it all.
