My belly muscles hurt

I talked to my nurse today and she said that usually the pain doesn't totally go away until about four weeks.  I know it depends on the person.  I was wondering if there is anything else I can do (ie, stretching) that may "speed up" my muscle recovery?  I don't like being in pain!  

can't tell  never had any pain at all, today is my  5 week,


whish you well, 

I don't know.  Have you taken tylenol?  I wonder if you're allowed to use a heating pad on it.

I don't think stretching would help.  In fact, I'd be afraid it would just upset them, and they'd yell at you even more!
