I am on day 6 post-op, taking it easy staying with the eating plan I was given, walking around but being careful. The incisions are healing very well and my pain is less every day.
BUT- when I turn or try to get out of bed using my stomach muscles sometimes I get a very sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen. It is 3-4 inches below and to the left of my port incision, so I know it isn't something going wrong with the incision.
I have had c sections and I am pretty sure I remember having random occasional stabbing pains as I healed, so I am not freaking out, but I never really asked my OB/GYN why they happened and I cannot remember how long they lasted.
It happens only when I make the mistake of forgetting and trying to use my tummy muscles but- wow- they hurt like the dickens. I guess I just want to know if any of you had this and re-assurance that it is okay and normal.
And temporary,lol.
