I HATE sleeping on my back.. Im wondering how long yall waited to sleep on ur side or stomach? Did you start when it was semi comfortable or did you wait awhile. Im having the worst time sleeping!

Oh and i mean this for people who just got surgery done lol. Im 2weeks out

it took me abt 3 weeks

3 days here guess im one of the lucky ones no pain pills since i left hospital

I sleep on my sides with the help of a body pillow. I was able to sleep on my side even in the hospital. Sure hope you can soon.

You are indeed very fortunate on the pain and pain meds

What is the pain under our left side? I am almost 3 wks post op and it just started this week- it hurts. Takes my breath away! HELP

The pain on your left side is completely normal. It's your muscles healing. I had it right after my surgery and once in a while I'm still in pain.

How long until it doesn't spasm?

From what was reported in a post that is the area that they put the cutter and stapler. So there is a bigger area of healing there. I know it is not any consultation but many of us are complaining about that and the pain in our back.

I was allowed to sleep on my side from beginning-I put pillow between my legs to take some pressure off spine.

I am a side sleeper and could not do this till they took out my drain at one week post op. then had no problems

Maybe its still hurting because i still have staples in than. Im so drsperate for sleep i might just deal with the pain and sleep on my side. Hubby goes back to work tomorrkw and i have two 8months old and a three year old... I need my sleep bad!!
