Do you think it's possible to tear something from sneezing?

I sneezed really big yesterday and immediately felt a sharp pain. It felt like something tore, just below my largest incision. I also have pain in my side now, kind of like a cramp that you'd get in your side from jogging... does that make sense? I figured it would ease over night and I'd feel better today, but it hasn't.

I called my surgeon after it happened and he said that was normal???? and to just take it easy. But I was 10 days post op yesterday, walking around and feeling really good, pain wise... and now I'm having trouble getting in and out of bed and doing the stairs in my house. I'm afraid I really hurt myself. Do you think that's possible?

I actually asked my Dr about this prior to surgery because I sneeze a lot. He said it may cause pain but it wouldn't do any damage. You probably irritated the healing muscle from your incision. It should feel better in a day or two.
