Pulled abdominal muscle anyone?



Recommended Posts

For about a week now I've had left upper abdominal pain that has me in the ER and they ran a bunch of test and everything was normal. No kidney infection, kidney stones, no blockages, nothing... I saw my surgeon Friday for my 3 month check up and I told him about my symptoms and he thinks I might have pulled a muscle or irritated one of my incisions. Urg.

I constantly have pain and twinges in the same area. Everything shows up normal on tests and CT scans but I have noticed it correlates with my bowel movements if I have one that day or not so I am thinking it may be my new feeling of having to go potty

I pulled my left abdominal muscle 4 days after surgery and it was SUPER painful. Even now, 3 weeks later, I still have a hard time bending or turning certain ways. It starts to hurt if I walk too much. It sucks!

I did the same thing. I'm two weeks post surgery, was finally starting to feel normal and then I pulled a muscle on my left side. It freaking kills!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
