5 days post TT and MR, did I ruin my muscle repair getting into bed?

From your description, I think it is unlikely that you harmed the muscle repair. It could be some muscle pain from strain or spasm.  Some pain at this point after surgery is to be expected. If your symptoms worsen or if you remain concerned, just see your surgeon.  Best of luck.

Hello and thank you for the question. I am sorry you are experiencing pain and anxiety after getting into bed. From your description, it would appear you simply strained a muscle. It would be highly unlikely that you ruined your MR from the activity. As always, it is best to have any concerns addressed by your plastic surgeon. Best of luck on your journey!

It is very difficult to tear the muscle repair. Most likely you are just having some muscle spasms. It is best for you to follow up with your plastic surgeon and have them examine your abdomen. 

Great question!  It is very difficult to tear the muscle repair.  Tensing up will not damage it.  You will be in significant pain if you did tear the muscle repair.  However, if you are concerned it is best to have your plastic surgeon take a look.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

PSs normally use two layers of very strong sutures when they repair the muscle separation. Very likely you did no damage.  If soreness or bruising continues, follow up with your PS.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello. From what you describe, it is highly unlikely that you did anything to "ruin" the muscle repair. The quick movement you described likely just strained the muscle a bit. If the achy / soreness persist, I recommend that you contact your PS, just to get some reassurance.

You most likely did not
affect the muscle repair due to deep internal suturing. Would call your plastic
surgeon to make them aware of event and for reassurance there is no damage
present. Would monitor for an increase in swelling and/or bruising.

Although I understand your concerns, your description does not sound too concerning.Generally speaking, it is difficult to "tear" a well performed abdominal wall plication.  If this does occur, it is usually associated with significant discomfort, swelling, and/or bruising. 
  As you know, your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to accurate assessment, advice, and (hopefully) meaningful reassurance.
 Best wishes.

It is highly unlikely that you have done any damage to your surgical results from the events you described.  The soreness you mentioned is typical during this point in recovery.  Continue to follow the advice of your plastic surgeon and report any concerns.

Hello and thank you for your question .   It is very unlikely you hurt anything surgically just by getting into bed.  I know it feels like it and you are sore, and you will feel a little more sore from it, but it would take more then that motion to pull any sutures .   When you see your PS on your first post op visit, he or she will examine you anyhow , but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
