think ive overdone it!

[Raynebubble]

I think i have done something to soon...nothing major... i walked to church and back yesterday afternoon for my daughters Sunday club.... ive not had a problem with walking and im trying to get out and do some everyday..ie shopping, and walking round my street...
But while i was at church i stacked a few chairs which i know i shouldnt of done... but now i think i may have pulled something as when i bend down i have a slight ache in my abdonable region...
i know i havnt got a blockage as my bowels (soz if too much info) are working ok.

Has anyone else done think they have dne too much too soon.... i have been told off for lifting a few chairs!!

Also do i just need to take things a little easier now?

In short YES
There is a chance that you could cause a hernia if you do any lifting

 

[Raynebubble]

i already have a hernia lol... but my friend thinks ive pulled a muscle... i hope this is just the case and i will not do no lifting from now on x

Behave your self you naughty girl. No more lifting or pushing.
Lots of rest.

Yes, I went back to work as a window cleaner after 17 days and I paid for it in exactly the way you described! I also pulled everything out the airing cupboard and put it all back tidy the other day, the same with hubby's wardrobe and the same thing happened again that night.
Now I have to press on my tummy near the centre just under my ribs when I bend over, even when getting the milk out of the fridge or putting laundry in the machine! If I don't I get pain and it feels like my innards are falling out x

 

[Mrs Quiggle]

Oh for goodness sake you lot, behave.

Good grief, Marie. You have a HUSBAND -- that is what he is there for !!!

I am gonna be *real* careful after my op and I am single and have no one around to help ..... those of you who do have family around you and then chose to lift things are just mad !!!

 

[mariew]

The thing is Sharon, you look great, you feel great, and so you think everything is fine!! You'll probably find out soon.
I had 3 10lb babies, and I felt worse then than I did after this op. From day one I have felt no pain, if it wasn't for the 5 little cuts I would have thought I hadn't had anything done. I am not MAD, I just misjudged my recovery.

thats about where my pain was too, and my back ached a bit... i know i shouldnt have lifted them chairs... i only did 6 but that was 6 too many!! some days you forget that your insides take longer to heal x

 

[mariew]

Hope you feel better soon Rayne xx

 

[Raynebubble]

Oh, OK ........ well I'll try to remember this thread, then, if I start to feel a bit too ambitious !!

 

[Raynebubble]

Hope you feel better soon Rayne xx
