I had tummy tuck with muscle repair on the 29th oct 2014 (10 weeks po) and as I was waking up this morning I stretched and felt a pop/twang feeling it hurt a little but nothing major more uncomfortable for a second or two on my right side I now have a very small red purple pimple type bruise in my belly button. Could I of torn a stitch ? And what would be the damage at this stage of so ? my stomach feels less tight and not pulling like it was ..I'll try to add a picture. Thankyou in advance.
