Feeling a little too good

TxChelsey · April 18, 2008

I am 11 days post-op and having no problems. I have no more pain and have started walking for exercise. I am having a hard time remembering to take it easy and yesterday I made a big boo boo. We had a hail storm and I was trying to get my car under cover before it hit. Long story short, I ended up helping my bf push his car about 5 ft, as he let it run out of gas!! He drives a '66 Ford Galaxie, a VERY heavy car. I did not hurt myself, but who knows what is going on inside of me? I have been kicking myself in the ass since then and I pray I did not hurt anything. Would I have some pain or symptoms? Anyone else overdo it early on?

I agree, if you have no pain you are probably fine. A lot of healing can happen in 11 days. I am a massage therapist and I went back to work 2 days after surgery. Well, massage isn't exactly like pushing a Ford but sometimes it feels like it! Take care and try to help your bf remember to keep gas in the car!

You might want to call your doctor and possibly get an Upper GI. If you're not in pain (besides the expected post-op pinch and ache), then you shoud be fine.

If you hurt yourself you would probably feel something. I wouldn't worry about it. In the immediate post op period if I did anything too strenuous, I would know it right away.
