Tightness And Pain, Muscle Spasms In Abdomen. Had Gall Bladder Removed. Working In Industry Which Requires Lifting Weight. Suggestions?
hello, I had laparosopic gallbladder (removal) almost 3 weeks, post op. I am having tightness and pain with muscle spasms in my abdomen ecspedcially around my navel. I work in an industry that requires me to lift over 100lbs each day. I was released by my surgeon to return to work as of three days ago. Is this pain just my body readjusting, or should I be concearned?

hello,
Thank you for choosing HCM.Laproscopic surgery is done as it has less side effects and recovery is soon than open surgery.It will take maximum 3 weeks to you to get normal.As you said you are supposed to lift weight that might be one reason for you for the inconvenience but still consulting your surgeon is a better idea to rule out other complications of the surgery.Use some mild muscle relaxants and take rest for sometime may be that might help you.Thank you.
