5 Days Post Op But,,

I'm sure all over. Feels like I have the flu. Mainly the lower part of my back. Any suggestions?

    After my hysterectomy I got really achy a few days out. It actually takes a while for all the drugs to get out of your system and for your body to realize the trauma it just went through. If you are concerned by all means call your doctor, but this should pass. Gentle internet hugs!

    ETA: Oh, and for goodness sakes don't slack on your breathing exercises. It is easy to forget, but I ended up in the emergency room just because I was too much of a baby to take a deep breath. It will be uncomfortable but it's totally worth the effort.
