Soreness/Activity at 4wpo?

Hi all! I’ve posted on here a few times since getting my surgery and I just want to start by thanking everyone on this sub. I can’t say enough times how much this sub has helped me and eased my mind.

I just got to 4 weeks post op today and while scrolling through other people’s experiences at 4 weeks, I saw so many people able to walk 10k+ steps and do longer activities.

Personally, I feel okay, but if I walk for more than 15 minutes around my house or my neighborhood, I get sore along my incisions, especially my t-junction. I also get hit with a wave of fatigue after going on a 15 minute walk.

I definitely understand that at this point in my healing, it’s normal to be tired and getting a lot of sleep. I am wondering though, if this soreness and inability to do longer activities should be enough of a concern to talk to my doctor. Thanks!

Opening 3.5wPO?

Hi everyone, I’m coming on here with a bit of anxiety over a possible opening at the t-junction on my left side. I obviously can’t clearly see right now since I still have the silk strips on, but I noticed some yellow fluid on my ABD pad today (2nd pic). The first pic is what my left breast currently looks like at 3.5 weeks post op, and the last pic is what it looked like 5 days post op. Is this likely a small opening? Anything you all recommend I do before my strips come off?
