I’m 5dpo tummy tuck, muscle repair, lipo, & BA. I was getting into bed this evening, with help from my step stool and husband and when I went to sit down I tensed up. I grabbed my husband as quick as possible, but it hurt and now the left side of my stomach/abs are sore. I didn’t hear a pop either like others have experienced.
