Make sure when you are sitting/laying down you are at an angle were it does not strain your body to lift yourself up. Sit up when laying down in the bed, and then when you want to get up, use one hand to hold onto the bed sheet and lift yourself slowly. Then move your bum to move to the side of the bed, and without using your hands lift up from the bed.
This is what I have been doing and it has stopped the burning pain I used to get in my incisions.
If I try to get up any other way I will get the burning pain x
