10 Days Post-Op and Feeling New Pain

[Jill Adrienne 10]

Hello. Just joined this group today. I had my bypass on 8/1 and am feeling a different kind of pain today. It is a tightness and pain around the main incision (not the incision itself), but only when I move or bend. If I am sitting still, I feel fine. Is this normal? Thanks for any insight.

Internal stitches pulling from healing, nerves reknitting together. I would only worry if incisions are inflammed, errupting or if pain arises particularly after eating only. Twisting and bending can irritate incisions.

Thank you, Sosewsue. This puts my mind at ease.

I agree with sosewsue - you’re healing :)
