I am seven days post-op from abdominal and flank liposuction. The pain has been minimal (comparable to an intense workout recovery), with the exception of sneezing. I feel an intense burning/ripping sensation when sneezing, beside or below navel. I'd say a 7/8 on a scale of 1-10. Hugging a pillow offers minimal comfort. Is this ripping/burning type of pain expected? I'm assuming its nerves recovering, but curious because I havent seen this covered anywhere. TIA!
