sneezing??

[mike65 47]

I'm 6 days post-op and doing well. I have one issue that has me perplexed. I have sneezed a couple of times and when I do, my abdominal muscles will twitch for a period of about 5 minutes afterward.

No pain or discomfort but twitching can be a little unnerving. Anyone else have this?

This is normal, at least it was for me. Your muscles tense when you sneeze and after just going through a trauma they twitch.

I haven't had that problem Yet but I'm sure your muscles are just twitching from the trauma. Try using a pillow against your incision when u do sneeze. I mean I know sneezing is random but if can hold something agains u hen u feel one coming on!
