Pain

[inhiskingdom 39]

I am day 2 post op and I cannot believe how much pain I am in. I thought this would be like my hysterectomy but not even close. The gas pains and soreness are off the charts. I have been walking like crazy too. I think they are sending me home today too. Ugggh, I just want this to pass.

You just had major surgery. I'm 3 weeks out and still have pain if I bend or twist wrong. I reached for my glove box yesterday and screamed out in pain. Mostly the large incision is giving me the most trouble. I'm comfortable now and not constantly in pain but you should expect major pain 2 days out. Tomorrow may be worst. 3rd day usually is with any kind of trauma. Take your medicine. Try to stay ahead of the pain. Keep walking. Better days are ahead.

@@inhiskingdom Have you told them how bad your pain is?

I too had a hysterectomy and this surgery was MUCH worse pain wise. People get the misconception that because it is laparoscopic that it's a minor surgery. That's not the case at all. I agree with Kristen, tell ur nurse before you leave the hospital so they can appropriately care for it there and at home. Maybe what your being given isn't strong enough.
