Hernia or muscle? 17 days post op RNY

[danelle00 1]

Hello all,

I am 17 days post op RNY, I had left sided pain around my largest incision after surgery. That calmed down but then 3 days ago I rolled over in bed and felt an immediate burning, ripping pain in a different area of my abdomen. It worsened when I was getting something off of the floor and tried to straighten up. I had to start taking my Percocet again and the pain has not improved. I can not twist or bend without pain. If I cough it sends me through the roof. I don't go back to the Dr (2 hrs away) until the 23rd. Your thoughts? Muscle or hernia? Is there any way to tell?

Thank you!
