Torn Muscle

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone experienced a torn muscle from sneezing?

Ye Gods! No!

I did crack my sinuses once, and other times I've ended up with genrealized brusing round my nose, but a torn muscle????

Sorry Vinesqueen, I'm having trouble keeping up with my postings!

Yeah, i had to sneeze last week and in trying to protect my incisions I somehow, tore/strained a muscle..when I sneezed the pain ran diagonally down my right side to my naval and I had the most painful, burning sensation I have ever experienced...which is why I think it tore...better now though...only get the burning sensation every once in a while...

hey, i had real issues with "sneezing" after banding. I thought I had pulled a muscle but it is actually the normal port/surgery pain that was felt. maybe this is what you are feeling???

Since yesterday That (muscle) pain is better....pretty much gone but now my port area is acting weird...well I see the doc today...I'll ask him about it....

I have been having pain in my lower left side. I was banded 1 1/2 weeks ago and feel great except for this ache. It almost feels like a side ache. Has anyone had this and how long till it goes away? Thanks girls!

Yes, I sneezed and had that same problem. It hurt for about two days and then just went away as quick as it came.

Sue,

Yep, that is the band healing. Had the same thing. Try sitting while leaning into a pillow on the port (aching) side. It helps to put some fluffy pressure on it. Mine started going away between week 4-5.
