Pain in large incision area worsening

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

I'll be 5 weeks post op on Thursday, and I noticed it hurting (pain level is about a 3 or maybe 2) again. Incisions look great, I feel great otherwise. I wonder if the jeans I was wearing the other day were too tight in the waist while I sat all day at work. The slight pain is where my waistband sits. No nausea, no fever, no redness. I'm blaming the healing process. Or my jeans.

As a part of my bariatric treatment, we are scheduled for post-op PT. (physical therapy) and my physical therapist told me that the incisions as heal still will develope some minor adhesions. Advised me to lightly rub the incision sites just to break up those tiny adhesions and gave me an exercise to lay on a roled blanket placed down your spine. The natural weight of your body will breakup the deeper adhesions, this will cause some slight pain as these get stretched. Otherwise some comments on they feel it more in bed explaind that they are stretching which is a good thing! Happy healing!!

Ugh! I'm 5 days post op and was wondering the same thing. So many people have posted how quickly they felt like normal I thought maybe something was wrong with me. I'm glad I found this thread. It hurts to lay down, sit down, stand up, etc... I started walking from day 1, but now it hurts to walk faster than a turtle.... I want to go walking and exercise.... I'm so not liking this stall.

Just be careful to not push it. About a week post surgery I flipped over in the middle of the night and popped an internal stitch. Thought I was going to die. So be careful and take it slow. It gets better every day.

I have had a really bad rash on my incisions. Dr. Hollis told me just use cortisone. Its kinda helping but I am 20 days post op. Wearing clothes is very irritating.
