Sleeved on 10/13/14

I could not get relief with the liquid Vicodin/Tylenol, although I drank the last drops right from the bottle in hopes of it helping! I agree with above poster to try something else. I switched to liquid Tylenol and Tylenol pm

For those of you that had a C-section would you say the pain is similar, worse, not as bad? Just trying to prepare myself mentally before surgery...

[auntjanny 289]

I had two c sections... And I remember laughing was painful. I was younger and had a baby to take care of so my perspective was different. There was an annoying burning numbness at my incision line that was irritating and I thought would never go away...

With the sleeve, laughing hurts, bending is very uncomfortable or painful at times, as is my tossing and turning in bed. So I never answered your question...same but different. Nothing that would make me regret or warn anyone about, but significant and prolonged enough that I was starting to get weepy and unglued!!

I was sleeved yesterday 10/16 at 11:30 am, came home today at 5 pm haven't had to take any pain meds yet. I have 2 very small pin hole incisions and one larger one in my belly button, my stomach is sore and I can't lay on my side. The pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The worst pain was in recovery from the gas, the gave me dilodin.

Only two? I have five incisions

[dogloverlosingit 6]

I have 6 and one really hurts. I don't have pain pills because the hospital forgot to give me the rx. Seriously. I could call the doctor but I'm afraid they will upset my stomach so I'm just dealing with it.

I have 6 incisions as well. For pain, the doc gave me a perscription for liquid vicodin. I only had to use it once and that was the night I came home from the hospital.

To make it worst, at the 3rd day I got my period so pain is killing me. I'm loading myself with Tylenol every 4 hours.

I just had a c-section last November and was sleeved on Monday (13th). I took pain medication for about a week after my c-section. I haven't taken any medication since I left the hospital on Tuesday. I think the pain itself is not the same. After the c-section my whole abdomen hurt! My incisions only hurt now when I bend over.

When did the numbness go away?! Mine is way better then it was, but still there and still obnoxious!

[stephh 634]

Doctor say I'm recuperating fast, but I still have a lot of pain. For how long did your pain from incisions lasted?

I've been wondering this too! Great question!

Stopped taking pain meds day 5... Day 4 I was walking around department stores with my sister

I have the same issue plus a pesky drain to deal with I was sleeved on the 14th. How soon after surgery were people able to return to normal activities like driving a car and less abdominal pain?

I was able to drive 9 days later. I didn't have any abdominal pain and felt normal (like nothing ever happened) in 2 days.

I am almost 5 weeks post. Still can ruin my day with pain and burning on my lower right side if I bend or turn the wrong way. I still wear the binder most times. The odd burning/numb sensation is decreasing though
