11 weeks post op Tummy Tuck and Pain After Exercise. (photo)

If you are still having pain severe enough to require pain medication at this stage, call your surgeon's office to have them evaluate it. Patients may still feel sharp pains as nerves begin to regenerate for months after surgery. But it should continuously get better with time. Good luck with your recovery.

In my own practice I
usually like to see about one are two weeks of a flat abdomen with no fluid
collections before I allow my patients to exercise or liberalize their
activity. This can vary from anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks in most cases.

Be sure to check in
ask plastic surgeon his or her preferences.

Thank you for your question. Your best course of action at this point would be to contact your Plastic Surgeon. He or she should be aware that you are experiencing severe pain in a localized area that requires pain medication for relief. Best of luck to you.
