We go back in 3 weeks.....Why is it like this?

When my boyfriend had his surgery in november he did that as well, always kept it down & i had to tell him "Honey lift ur head up a little bit" (i would say it everyday all day) and eventually it went away. I think it has to do with the muscles healing where they cut them open but im not 100% sure. Hope this helps!!
