pulled muscle?

Hello ladies:
I'm 15 days post-op for a TAH/BSO and was doing wonderfully well, at least I thought so. I think I hurt myself.
I stupidly thought I could plug in an electrical cord but when I straightned up I felt a good twinge in my left lower
quadrant. No big deal at the time. I felt pain later in the
evening trying to get into bed and of course through the night. It's a burning pain and it hurts to sit, wether it be on a chair, couch or even to use the bathroom.
I feel like I either have to hold my lower left belly or try to
keep it from scrunching up. It even hurts to do stairs, even
slowly.
I am seeing my GP in the morning but I'm pretty sure he won't be able to tell me what I did.
Anyone else do something this silly to cause themselves pain and what damage did you cause?
I was feeling pretty good, but still taking it easy (for me)
and now I feel like I've suffered a set back.
Hope to hear from some of my Hyster Sisters.

Fuzzy, get to the Dr fast, I'm 4 weeks post-op, have had lower left side pain for 2 weeks. I had called the Dr 3 or 4 times. Went in today for my 4 week and I have a golf ball size cyst on my left ovary.

Good luck tomorrow!

What did the Dr tell you?
Are you ok?

Hi Bear12:
That "pulled" muscle finally stopped bothering me after
about 16 days. Of course the pain diminished with each
passing day and finally stopped hurting all together.
But I learned a big lesson, now I'm a lot more careful
with everything I do.
I did go see my Dr.(GP) he checked to see if there was
a lump. I think he might have thought I'd caused myself
a hernia. And then he said if you're still in a lot of pain
next week we'll do an ultrasound to see what kind of
damage you did do. I never went back to see him because
as I said the pain diminished with each passing day.
I do see my Gynocologist this week and I will be sure to
ask him about it.
As far as the pain went, I can honestly say that the only
other pain I've had that hurt that much was my appendix.
And that really hurt. Because
the burning, searing stab of pain is a real eyeopener.
Take care, and thanks for asking.
Linda

I'm so pleased to hear that, just be careful it doesn't take much to overdo it.
Get plenty of rest.
Best Wishes
