Bruise above Belly Button from sneezing after Lower Body Lift. (photo)

YankeeCleo
I sneezed a week after surgery and screamed from the sharp pain it caused me. I'm normally no stranger to pain back, knee, etc... lots of surgeries in the past but this was a severe, sharp, knife-like pain. The pain did not go away for days and now I have this long dark bruise above my naval. What happened?
