scared to cause a hernia post hysterectomy
basically, the title says it all. My gyn "took it all" but my cervix . I am 10 weeks post-op ( time stopped w/surgery) and have had my last check and my annual exam for this year.... won't be back until next year's annual exam (barring problems), but she warned me to "not overdo and cause a hernia".
I feel incredibly stupid to ask, but how would you know if you did? I am still getting stretching pains (vertical open incision hysterectomy), but my brain says get moving and I was told it "is major surgery, it takes a long time, don't overdo it".
I want no more surgery -- ever -- and worry about overdoing.
Any help, please!
