Default Anyone have what feels like a pulled muscle where the drain tube was?

Hello...

Just a quick question, I am 3 weeks post op and I have been getting what feels like a pulled muscle where the little drain bulb thing was. Is it I have been doing too much or is it normal and just the muscle healing back up? Either way I have a check up this next Monday so I will ask there but I wasn't sure if I should try to take it a little more easy. Not that it will be much more likely LOL I have a 2 yr old and a 7 month old, and Hubby is out to sea till the beginning of Oct. Well thanks...

I hope your all doing great!

Melody

I don't know about a pulled muscle feeling, but where the end of the drain tube was inside (not the exit hole) hurt longer than any other aspect of the surgery! I know it's going to be hard, but try to take it easy until you can ask about it!
