3.5 weeks post-hysterectomy, had to help my large dog up, now weird pain
I know I'm not supposed to lift, but I was home alone with my elderly dog. He couldn't get up and was losing his bowels. I just legged him up without thinking. Now I have a stabbing pain in my upper abdomen (between belly button and rib cage) when I lean forward.
Is this just a muscle pull because of muscle atrophy from not using my abs since the surgery or should I be worried about my internal stitches (would they even be that high)? My highest external incision was the belly button.

I hope you feel better. My abs are feeling better today after some rest. I never know what pain should concern me and what shouldn't. I didn't have any discharge, so now I'm more worried about you. Post when you have an update.

I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm afraid I popped a stitch or something cause now it hurts when I pee. I'm calling my dr Monday morning if it's not any better by then. I've tried to stay on the couch all day. I ended up having to keep her from falling again so I'm gonna have a tough night. I may end up in er tomorrow just to make sure everything is ok.

Re: 3.5 weeks post-hysterectomy, had to help my large dog up, now weird pain
I'm ok. I've found the best way for me to keep safe (other than simply remembering not to lift) is to wear supportive clothing. I have been wearing those skimmies by jockey. They aren't compressive enough to hurt, but they allow me to move without pulling.
I'm sorry about the boredom. It's funny, when I found out I'd be off work for so long, I thought about all the things I could get done. When I realized everything I wanted to do wasn't allowed I was disappointed.
Even though I'm bored, I'm afraid returning to work is going to make me sick. I think I'll be too exhausted and the stress will wear me down.
