Still swollen and hurting!
Well... i thought I could beat the odds and be on my feet by week 3--- NOT... I still cant stand up straight and trying to get into a comfortable sleeping position is still a mission. I do ok with a light stretch with my back up against the wall, but as soon as I sit down and get up, my lower back BURNS and my dreaded hunched over position returns with tightness at the bottom of my rib cage. Im holding on to see what week #4 brings. :-)

I promise you the more you walk around, the better you will feel. My lower back also hurts but I've found that sleeping in an upright position helps (try a wedge pillow-can be found on Amazon), also wearing compression garment works wonders for back support. I find that I'm able to stand up straight with it on and I'm a little shy of 2 weeks post op. Stomach muscles are still severely tight and skin stretched so tight over muscles that it itches and makes bending/reaching or turning difficult, but the garment helps. I hated it because it's too tight, but I do see the benefits.
