So I had tummy tuck with repair, I am post opp 10 days bd I can move around pretty good since day 1. But I cant stand or walk long because of the strain on my back and not being able to stand up. I try and get up and move through out the day, but I notice once I sit or wake up either I feel like a cement brick lol or everything re tightens and its a pull to even stand where I know I can.. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Can I massage or do stretches to help?
During the second week of tummy tuck recovery, I felt a slight strain on one side of my abdominals when I mistakenly tried to adjust my recliner by myself. Ever since, that side has felt sensitive - as if I can feel the muscle is inflamed or somehow slightly out of place. There is no change in my profile. What could have happened? Will that side heal differently? What can I do? Could I have done damage that I can't see?
I recently started getting into shape to prepare for basic training (military). After 2 weeks of exercising, I found myself in pain after doing sit-ups. I had a full tummy tuck 2+ years ago. The pain feels like a burning/pulling sensation on the lower left side right at/under my incision. Doctor ruled out hernia. It seems to get better with rest but my concern is, what can this be? I would hate for this to cause me complications later or hinder my training in the military. Is it just a strain?
I had a muscle repair and small tummy tuck 2 weeks ago. Bowel movement has been fine until 2 days ago and I really really strained going to the toilet 2 days in a row for minutes at a time. I'm so worried I have damaged the internal stitches. My whole abdomen aches down the middle, How can I tell if I've done any damage
4weeks p.o. Up to three days ago, recovery had been remarkable. Was up & walking day 2. By day 6 I was walking upright. Day 7 drains out & everything going smoothly. Wk3 back to work(physical ed teacher). I was careful not to run, stretch, jump etc. Bus dismissal I made mistake of lifting a pre k student. Since this I've had shooting pain in my abdomen directly above mybellybutton that radiates? Did I just strain the repair and need to get some rest or could I have damaged the repair?? Scared!
I'm ten weeks post op after no drain tummy tuck. A couple of days ago I felt like I strained something on one side next to my belly button. It hurts in certain positions like if I lean forward or strain. Could I have done some damage and is it not to experience pain and swelling this far into recovery? Thanks
I have a full tummy tuck scheduled for the day after tomorrow and I was trying to mow the lawn and I fell and sprained my ankle. Will the doctor still do the surgery? I am concerned he wont because I am supposed to walk around starting the afternoon of the surgery to prevent blood clots and as of right now I am keeping my foot elevated because its swollen pretty bad. Will I still be able to have my surgery?
i am freaking out, i had a tummy tuck 1 week ago, and i strained somewhat while going to the bathroom, since the pain meds have made me constipated all week and i was finally able to have a bowel movement. could i have ruined the results from using my stomach muscles in this way? im not sure if its all in my head, but i feel like i can feel the procedure just coming undone....please help!
