I now that a week after my surgery I was extremely sore in my abdominal area and when I moved in certain ways I felt pain. I thought too that I may have pulled a muscle, but during my second week the pain started to subside. If the pain continues I would call the Dr. I hope this helps and good luck!

I'm glad to hear your swelling has gone down. I'm not sure if I mentioned how I found a vitamin supplement that helps with swelling and pain due to surgery or injury. The name of it is Bromelain and it's a pinneapple enzyme. I've been taking it for about 10 days now and I've noticed a huge difference. My swelling has gone done significantly. I've been drinking water and eating healthy and taking that vitamin. I found it at Walmart for under 10 dollars. I really recommend it!

I had a full TT 25 days ago, and I suffered from severe swelling. However, I researched ways to reduce swelling. I found a vitamin supplement, Bromelain, which is a pineapple enzyme, that helps reduce swelling and pain due to surgery or injury. I've been taking it for 5 days and the swelling has significantly decreased I'm able to fit into my preop clothes with my girdle. I feel smaller and I'm loving the results. I found Bromelain at Walmart for under $10.00. Taking Bromelain and drinking a lot of water has really helped with the swelling. Good Luck!
Hi! I would love to know exactly what supplemental vitamins you used and what foods helped you with your healing.

I have taken your advice and started to drink more water and watch my sodium intake. It has helped with the swelling. Thanks for the great advice and good luck!
