Can I pull in my Abs while sitting post laminotomy ?

@annie1 Did your surgeon mention scar tissue? Scar tissue tightens as it heals and you'll move into a phase where you feel it pull. You kind of need to live with it until it fully heals, and your bones are set. Getting in and out of a vehicle will have you bending your body and probably pull on it. I was uncomfortable between 2 months and 5 months when I could start stretching it. It was pretty annoying.
Have you tried some ice?

The muscle that is tight is pulling you away from putting pressure on your swollen nerve as it tries to heal.That is what he said.

He didn't mention scar tissue. I am pretty restless I have to admit I didn't go out all day today but I did have to walk around my apartment I didn't have anyone to help me to cook anything so I managed to make something quick to eat. Yeah I was possibly going to go into my friend's car tomorrow for a very short while just to see the outside world. Do you think I shouldn't get in a car at all for a few days?
