Hi Jo- thanks for the response... I took it easy this week and feel MUCH better i think i had just overdone things. recovery definately taking longer than i expected. i wouldnt advise people go sight seeing 4 weeks out much better to wait a while and just take it easy...i got a good response from a doctor on this site too who said it was totally normal to feel pain 4 or 5 weeks with muscle repair as the muscles take some time to get used to functioning normally again so that was reassuring!
Hi all
I am 5 weeks post op (tummy tuck with muscle repair) and am feeling quite sore lately. i wonder if I have overdone my exercise, i have only been walking slowly but have done an hour or so each day. do you think this is too much. my muscles on the right side feel very tender like i have been doing too many crunches!!.. now im worried! How long does it take before you can walk around normally. I was quite active before and am missing it!! I hope i havent done any damage- what are the chances of that at this point in my recovery- thanks all! :)
ahhh bad day today.. pain and swelling and i thought i was gettin better already!! im day 17 abd feel uncomfortable, tired and sore just want to cry :( is this normal?? im over the doing nothing all day soo frustrating!
jo- sorry ur having a hard time wit hubby. its must be hard for partners as they must feel helpless watchin us in pain!
hi guys did you have muscle repair as well? im thinking that that acts as a kind of in built corset and maybe make me feel fuller as i am the same with eating less also... Hope it stays like this! im very excited to see my tumy get flatter and flatter everyday.. now i just gotta work on my thighs! LOL
