Spasms after tummy tuck - Is this normal? Will it ruin my repair? How can I prevent this.

Shelly1414
I had my tummy tuck and muscle repair done yesterday morning. No it’s the next day and it’s 1:15 am and can’t sleep because I have off and on what feel like spams-contractions. They come on quick and are painful. Is this normal? Will it ruin my repair? How can I prevent this. It hurts :(
