Pulled Muscles from Laparoscopic Surgery SUCK!
12 years ago
Okay, so I had laparoscopic surgery about a year ago now and this is the 3rd or 4th time I've pulled a muscle in my gut since then.
This time, I made breakfast in the morning - doing well, nothing wrong. Sat down and ate just after my husband left for work - got up a little while after to take care of my plate and PAIN! This one seems to be a transverse abdominous or one of my obliques this time since the pain is from my lower incision site out to the side. I've had pain before in like my rectus abdominal muscles which was closer to my bellybutton incision site.
Pain.... it sucks. I've usually stayed on rest and tylenol for the pain since generally that is what any doctor is going to tell me to do about it. I'm thinking of going in though soon to talk to my PCP to start up a record of it though since apparently there have been some issues with laparoscopic surgery that have recently come up due to use of the DaVinci Robot (they used that on me).
I'm kinda pissed off that a year later I am having more issues than less and I'm worried that this is going to be a permanent thing now to pull or tear a muscle every few months.
So, not much art while I'm on rest since it's hard to bend in anyway that will allow me to draw or ink. :,< I will try and get some things posted after I am off of resting though.
At least I'm catching up on my Pokemans......

OP
It's slowly getting better with me not using it. I'll probably be okay by next week or so with a little pain still if I over use it. Thanks for the get well wishes though :3
