My first post op cycle started Monday. I have been in so much pain. The cramps and body aches are horrible. I'm lucky I didn't start a few days post op, but I am so sore. My period feels like it has gotten worse after surgery. Since we r so limited, what r u guys taking for the pain? Do u guys think your periods r worse?

Most definitely!! And it doesn't help that we can't have nsaids as that is what my gyno suggests to take for the pain

My doctor wrote me out a prescription for trams-dol cause I would spend the first 2-3 days in bed when my period started cause I hurt so bad, cramps that made me want to die and I slept the whole time. They have gotten better the longer post op I am though.

I'm on day 5 and the pain is still crazy. This is wayyyyyy worse than before and I already had heavy periods. The cramping has my tummy down in pain. I go to the OBGYN Tuesday. I hope she can recommend something
