I am just now 4 weeks post tt and repair and have 5 kids. Up until a week ago I hadn't been lifting them. This week I have been bending my legs and lifting my 1 yr old (25lbs) never feeling like I hurt something but getting more swollen by the end of the day. Today I woke up with a pain upper middle(to the left) its not a constant pain more of a occasional pain. Ok to get to my question; how do I tell if its permanent damage or just sore. if I ripped a stitch would it be excruciating?
