You should probably call your Dr. Where is the pain and what does it feel like. Some possibilities are a pneumonia having been caused by the intubation and progressively getting worse, or it could be just aches from where they cut or bruised the muscles in your abdomen being aggravated by change in pressure when you take a deep breath.

Are you running any fever? And check your pulse rate. If you have access to getting your blood pressure checked, would do that too. But I agree, call your doctor even if vital signs are normal.

Is the pain new or has it done this since surgery?

No fever. Pressure is good... been off and on for a few days but it almost feels like a pulled muscle.

I just read another thread where people 3, 4, 5 weeks out are having pains, maybe related to increased activity level?

Would check in with the doctor, just to be safe

It's a common to have a pulled muscle sensation

From the internal sutures healing at about this time frame.
