Reaching in a cupboard yesterday morning to pull something out for the picnic and I pulled something. Felt something "pop". Just under my lowest rib on my left side.

The initial pain was pretty bad, but it seemed to go away in about a minute. Kept on getting ready to go. Bent over to get some flip flops to wear and the pain came right back!

Took a couple Tylenol capsules. Went to the parade and concert. Ate fine (no problems other than finding decent food to eat around hot dogs and bratwurst lol). No other issues.

Got home, still sore like I pulled a muscle. Put some ben gay on it and went to bed where I could not get comfortable. Finally put a heating pad on and fell asleep.

No better this morning. I want to go work out and go to water aerobics but I'm gonna lay low for another hour and see if it improves at all. I'll be calling the doctor after 8 -- even though they aren't there I'll get someone to call me back.

Pulled muscle? Haven't done any weights on lower body and those muscles were tore up anyways during the surgery? Wonder if I didn't do something with the band or the port? I didn't really strain that hard, and I'm 6 weeks post op??

Any suggestions or insight are greatly appreciated. Hope everyone had a nice fourth!!!

Sandy
