Hi. I had a TT + lower abdomen muscle repair on the 8th March. It's been very short time but I have almost no pain anywhere at all. I have been laughing a lot today and trying to hold back because I'm worried I might damage the stitches of my muscle repair on the inside... is it possible for that to happen at this stage considering I'm only 5 days post op? There's no pain, swelling or anything but I'm just concerned. Thanks
