Done Double Umbilical Hernia Sugery, Laperoscopy. Was Sore Between Incisions, Stuck Out A Bit
I had double umbilical hernia sugery Oct 18. Laperoscopy. And i have been doing really well. Even went out with hubby a couple of times for dinner. Tonite i had a place in between my top two incisions that was sore and stuck out a bit. I sat and iced it and it quit hurting. I got up to let the dogs out just as i always do.slowly and carfully but i cried it hurt so bad. I breathed through it. Got them out readied for bed took my pills and after a good cry and love from my puppy it stopped hurting. Im thinking it was just a bad spasm? Right? NANCY

hello Nancy!
Thank you for asking. I read your query and i bet its just the post surgical wound pain and yes spasm is allied. Its perfectly natural after surgical procedure. rest and avoid Heavy weights. Treat cough sooner, avoid valsalva maneuvers and all those things which lead to increased intra abdominal pressures.Lose weight as obesity is the killer of healthy wounds. Play with your dogs and enjoy life.
You are as good and healthy as humanly Possible
Take care
