If I was you I'd definitely mention this to your doctor though.
Okay, so would it just normally go away after after awhile? Do you think getting a massage would help? And I'm definitely going to call my doctor on Monday to see what he says.

Could it possibly be a pinched nerve from how I was positioned during the surgery? I'm actually not sure how I was positioned- whether I was on my side or not.

Thanks.
