I had surgery on Tuesday 22nd had to drive 6 hrs home ( stopped every hr to walk a bit ) after being released yesterday ,, is it normal to be hurting really bad??? I'm taking my pain meds,, was just wondering, or am I being a big baby lol

I was in a lot of pain for 2 wks. It was horrible to force myself to walk. I get jealous when I hear people say the surgery was nothing lol......I guess everyone is different or I am just a big baby as well :-)

I too get jealous when I hear about other people's journeys.... It is hard to muster up the want to, to walk, I feel like I've done nothing but sleep.. Lol I just need to get off my soapbox and suck it up and just do it ,,,, walk walk sip sip .... Roflmao!!!! Hope everyone has an awesome day!!!!!

SIX HOURS!!! WOW The car killed me after surgery. I was pretty ok otherwise but the car just made me feel awful. I was off pain meds for a week but at my two week appointment I needed them again.

Good Luck to you! It will get better.

Don't feel bad my pain was minimal but I had no energy to walk much less take a shower. I remember getting out of the shower and just feeling drained. My energy was flat lined! So I didn't walk walk walk. Your probably sleeping a lot because of the pain meds. I didn't really walk much at the hospital the meds kept me out. So I stopped them on day 3 at home.

Everyone's experience is different take your time and heal!
