Hi I had tummy tuck, lipo, muscle repair and bbl almost 6 wks ago. Am experiencing lots of discomfort, very swollen and sharp like electrical shooting pain and burning sansation on my stomach and back. Now on this 5th week am starting to feel a pain in my upper part of my belly. I was wondering if all these feelings are normal. I've been going to lymphatic massages as recommended and wearing my garment. But sometimes I feel discouraged with all these pains am experiencing. Please advise. Thanks!
