So it's day 2... In so much pain really only when I'm getting up,try to cough, and when I inhale. Can't wait til the pain goes away.

Day three was about the worst for me, then it got better. Hang in there. Stay on top of it with pain meds, don't wait for it to get too bad. Take the meds when you get to level 3 of 10.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I am on Day 5...and much better today...even drove myself to a dr's appointment....Hang in there! You can do this!

Try a hot shower it helped soothe me some.....ice bag on incision will help swelling go down but was uncomfortable, warm water or decaf tea helped move gas a little. But pain is still here can't wait til I'm pain free.
